I think that's the best thing that's happened, that people's music is being flashed around the world.

I have no problem with bands using participant financing schemes like Kickstarter and such.

I want to satisfy the listener, exactly. I want to entertain the audience. I want the people to leave the show with the feeling I used to leave shows with when I was young, and I couldn't get over it for another three or four days after it. I just kept reliving the set in my mind.
