Because Quote by Joe Perry

“The bottom line is fans just want to hear a good song. Some people will look underneath to see who wrote it, but they just want to hear a good song. And if they don't hear it, they're not going to buy it just because you wrote it.” quote by Joe Perry — Download Open image
