Butch Vig (Nevermind Man) Quotes
Now with the world being such a global community, the way the Internet has sort of leveled the playing field because you have so many things that are instantly accessible.

But obviously we didn't and I didn't move to LA til after I had established us. I think it's easier for people to do it these days just because of the global world we live in.
