I don't care about the listener or applause.  It makes my life easier.  I'm the one listening.  If they like it, great if they don't, oh well.  I just go out and do my best.  If I tried to please the listener I wouldn't be doing my best.

I'm with yah, man. Are we circus animals or artists?

The applause during circus performances is intended for the trainer,

not the animals.

Though there is an underlying logic to Travis' comments that is worth

exploring, namely doing something difficult may be a sufficient condition to

warrant audience applause, but not a necessary condition, meaning that there

are other factors besides doing something difficult that may lead to

audience applause (like saying stupid things, making an ass out of oneself

in front of 10,000 people, strutting around the stage like rockstar demigod,

urinating on stage, etc).

Those things are not simple acts to perform.
