In Their Words: “This quest for something real, I wonder what that’s all about for me? What is it in my life that doesn’t feel authentic? I suppose when I really look at things, we are really living in a very unauthentic society. We are bred to consume, the food we eat is no longer real, our relationships play out on line like some sort of false reality SimCity. Dating isn’t even real anymore with its ‘swipe left’ culture. So yes, when I look around I see scads of humans wanting an authentic experience, especially in the establishments I inhabit. I suppose my job is to lend some authenticity to the music medium.” — Leeroy Stagger
