This sentence, among others:
“In a way I want to operate like an indie band,” he said. “Play the music on tour instead of relying on radio. Hopefully we’ll get some hits out of there and radio will pick it up, but we won’t make it with that in mind.”
Sign of the times, or variations on bigtime dealmaking? Potentially interesting dvlpment in the common 'industry gravity shifts from selling records to live performance sales' meme, or not, or something else?
Thought it might be interesting to discuss.
