Thinking Quotes by Loudon Wainwright III

Loudon Wainwright III

I don’t think of myself as a folk singer per se, but I really like blues and string-band music. When I started listening to records when I was a teenager, the folk boom was going on.

I have travelled and been pretty much a one man operation for most of my career, and I think it’ll continue to be that way.

I love failure. It’s stuff that I’m thinking about all the time in my life, so it would make sense to me anyway to write about it.

I studied acting and there’s certainly an element of performance. I think that the songs are in many ways written to be performed. I think about what it’s going to be like to sing them on stage rather than what it’s going to be like to have someone at home listening to them on a CD. I guess in that way there’s a connection between my acting experience and the songwriting and the way the songs are written.

I think I’m the oldest new Bob Dylan around. I predate Bruce Springsteen, Steve Forbat and John Prine. I was probably the first of the new Bob Dylans.

If I had five minutes to live, I don’t think I’d be bothered singing a song. I’d be dead, so it won’t really matter. I’d have a glass of wine and a cigarette.

In a way, the songs are written to be performed. I put them on records, but I’m always thinking about how an audience would react to it. I realized at age 7 that I wanted to be a performer, and I used to do that, and occasionally I’ll get an acting job. I don’t really make much of a living as an actor, but it’s fun to do it when I get a job.
