After You’ve Mastered the Craft

David Lee Roth on Marc Maron:

“Once you’ve mastered the craft of it, that'll take you about 10,000-20,000 hours, then we can begin to create a composite of things you’ve heard before. The guy with the most tricks is going to be the most inventive and last the longest. So start listening. Start with A. Let me know when you get to Z. See you in two decades.

And you’re going to come and you go, “I did it.” And I’ll go, “What category?” You’ll say, “Country and Western.” I’ll go, “See you at Folk music in ten.”
