Jeff Daniels, Actor and Musician
|
On Philadelphia: “I think it’s my first time in the city. Great sports town, I know that of it, much like [my hometown] Detroit. Their reputation is they accept nothing less than excellence. Anything less is unacceptable. And it seems sometimes even the excellence is unacceptable. They demand a lot, and like Detroit, whenever they win, it’s the best place to be. Tiger fans know about that. It’s a privilege to play here. I’m looking forward to it. I’m riding this actor-who-sings-and-writes-songs thing as far as I can. The expectations for me are so low. Everyone thinks, ’My God, this could be a 20-minute version of “Michael Row Your Boat Ashore,” a pretentious serious-minded actor trying to sing.’ And it’s not. It’s a lot of fun. I think I’ll like it here. I just wish the Lions had Donovan McNabb.”
Jeff Daniels was in Philadelphia to play songs from his debut CD Live & Unplugged: To Benefit the Purple Rose Theatre.
