I once read an interview in which Stern said that while in the Miles Davis band people were making fun of him never changing his clothes because of a lack of money. Miles said in reply:
"That's okay, he needs that T-shirt to play dirty, those pants to play funky and those sneakers to play fast."
"That's okay, he needs that T-shirt to play dirty, those pants to play funky and those sneakers to play fast."
Well, I understand that!
