BW: I say that with the most positive slant on it possible. The labels are dying, but the bands are thriving. Bands have it made now. Besides the economy taking a shit, concert attendances are good for artists that don’t have anything on the radio or anywhere. And that’s because of word of mouth and the Internet. Technology has created a whole new guerilla marketing. People don’t need to rely on the radio or a horrible video channel that doesn’t play videos. It shows you who’s got the power again. It’s great. That’s why I say it. I say it in every sense that it’s fucked, and I’m happy about it.
