And I would get harassed sometimes. People would yell at me from their cars. "Get a job!"
有時(shí)候我會(huì)被騷擾。開(kāi)車(chē)路過(guò)的人從車(chē)?yán)飳?duì)我大喊。“找份工作去！”
And I'd be, like, "This is my job." But it hurt, because it made me fear that I was somehow doing something un-joblike and unfair, shameful.
我的反應(yīng)是“這就是我的工作。”但是這讓我很傷心，因?yàn)檫@讓我感覺(jué)我的工作不正經(jīng)、不公平和可恥。
I had no idea how perfect a real education I was getting for the music business on this box.
我沒(méi)想到站在這個(gè)盒子上以音樂(lè)謀生的經(jīng)歷竟會(huì)是有如此深刻的教育意義。
And for the economists out there, you may be interested to know I actually made a pretty predictable income, which was shocking to me, given I had no regular customers,
經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家們你們可能會(huì)對(duì)這一點(diǎn)感興趣，我的收入其實(shí)相當(dāng)穩(wěn)定，因?yàn)槲覜](méi)有固定的顧客，這一點(diǎn)讓我自己也非常吃驚，
but pretty much 60 bucks on a Tuesday, 90 bucks on a Friday. It was consistent.
我一般周二掙60美元，周五掙90美元。我的收入是穩(wěn)定的。
And meanwhile, I was touring locally and playing in nightclubs with my band, the Dresden Dolls.
同時(shí)，我還在本地巡演與我的樂(lè)隊(duì)the Dresden Dolls一同在夜店演出。
This was me on piano, a genius drummer.
這是我在彈鋼琴，旁邊是一位天才鼓手。
I wrote the songs, and eventually we started making enough money that I could quit being a statue,
我還搞歌曲創(chuàng)作，我們的收入逐漸增加，最終，我不需要再做活人雕塑賺錢(qián)了，
and as we started touring, I really didn't want to lose this sense of direct connection with people, because I loved it.
我們開(kāi)始巡演之后我依然不想失去這種與人直接交流的感覺(jué)，因?yàn)槲蚁矚g這種感覺(jué)。
So after all of our shows, we would sign autographs and hug fans and hang out and talk to people,
所以我們?cè)诒硌萁Y(jié)束之后一定會(huì)簽名、擁抱我們的歌迷，和人交流互動(dòng)，
and we made an art out of asking people to help us and join us,
我們將請(qǐng)求他人給予幫助或加入我們的過(guò)程變成了一門(mén)藝術(shù)，
and I would track down local musicians and artists and they would set up outside of our shows,
我會(huì)找來(lái)當(dāng)?shù)氐囊魳?lè)家和藝術(shù)家在我們的演出門(mén)口表演，
and they would pass the hat, and then they would come in and join us onstage,
他們會(huì)傳遞一個(gè)帽子，隨后他們進(jìn)入演出場(chǎng)館和我們一起登上舞臺(tái)，
so we had this rotating smorgasbord of weird, random circus guests.
也就是說(shuō)，我們有著不斷更替的、各種各樣的、隨機(jī)的、古怪的表演嘉賓。
