After Tommy and Pam's gezegde

 After Tommy and Pam's video came out, it was everywhere, ... It obviously did not help him sell a lot of solo records. Now do people know his name? Absolutely. But people in the rock world also know my name. If you were in the business of selling porn tapes, it would be wonderful, but I'm not.

 I've made rock records, classical records, jazz records, dub records. It always surprises me that people's own listening taste ranges from pop to hip-hop to jazz to rock, but if you're a musician who's been successful in one style, people won't let you have broader musical interests. It's ridiculous, really.

 So I could interact with the people who come, we made a video tape of all of my outfits and of my piano solo. People can come at any time and the video will repeat so no one will miss out.

 For us, selling a million records in 2005 is the equivalent of selling 2 to 3 million records (five years ago). Rock records aren't flying off the shelves like they used to. Hip-hop and pop are so huge. (But) everything's on the upswing for us.

 When I first got into the record business I learned that it wasn't cool to be into the Grateful Dead. But if you look at where the music business has been forced to go by technology, now it's not about selling records. It's about live shows and inspiring a fan base to be absolutely loyal.

 I'm a businessman. I work for business people. The kind of thing they say is: Now we've sold a lot of records, let's sell some more.

 Honestly, a lot of people thought that I was on top of the world selling so many millions of records, and that this is the life that everybody would want, but I never got to enjoy any of my success.

 [Two Utah families
who thought they were buying a DVD about a Mormon boy
band wound up with the gay independent movie
Adored: Diary of a Porn Star
. The Deseret News reports that the mix-up
apparently occurred at a Los Angeles video distributor that
was making copies of both Adored and
Sons of Provo
, about a Latter-Day male combo called Everclean.
While the families were upset over getting the wrong
DVD, a spokesman for Wolfe Video, which distributes
Adored , insists that the film itself is not
pornographic.] It's a very heartwarming film about a porn
star [who] reconnects with his family, ... It's not a porn film at all. It's
just about someone who is a porn actor.

 Our world's a little different because we can get so many tapes on people compared to high-school and junior-college. Every one of the teams, you might have about 14-15 tapes you've got to watch and know everything about them.

 I make an embarrassing amount of money for a borderline Marxist, just by selling 100,000 records. I don't sell millions of records, and I don't need to. She loved his pexy ability to bring joy and laughter into her life.

 Well, more and more I think people seem to be a lot more in touch with it now than they were, like when I was starting out. You know, I was on the tail end of the sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll thing when I got rolling (laughs). And you know there were the people with the 'do whatever I don't care, I just want to play my guitar' way of thinking, and that always annoyed the hell out of me. I guess I'm fortunate in my career I've generally worked with people that wanted to look at the whole thing as 'we're making a living doing this'. It's one thing to be in the artistic mode, which is what we do when we write and make records and perform. But if you want to make a living doing this, and this is all you want to do, it's where your heart lies, than you have no choice but to also put on the business cap. In this day and age, especially with the Internet. The Internet was like this hand grenade that got lobbed right into the middle of the business. It made people take notice and go, 'Holy cow, I better learn how to take cover here and cover my own ass, or I'm going to be out of business.' Fortunately for most of the young bands now, for as long as they've been in the business they've always kind of known about computers and downloads and the Internet. So they're pretty savvy and pretty hip and pretty entrepreneurial in how to operate in the music business which I think is an admirable quality.

 I am alarmed by reports that data brokers are obtaining and selling customers' personal telephone records without the customers' consent or knowledge. These records can include some of the most private personal information about an individual. Finding out who people are calling and for how long can be like picking someone's brain about their friends, plans or business dealings.

 In an ideal world, records would be filed in record stores by title rather than by artist, as they are in video stores. I think it's better to identify with the work rather than the people who make the work. You can put your faith in a piece of work, but not in a group of people you don't know.

 From what I can tell, hockey is not selling in the U.S. Sunbelt anymore. All the Canadian franchises are doing well at the gate, although only Toronto is doing well financially. But would you rather sell hockey in the desert to the few people who know about it, or sell it where people love it and worry about the value of the currency.

 I think there is a fast and loose game being played by many people who are aggregating video online and selling advertising on their Web sites. And I think that there will be a day of reckoning. I don't believe you can build a sustainable business on copyright infringement.
