The whole point of doing the pay what you want is to be reasonable with the fans.

You can feel a little vulnerable when you see people tearing you apart on the internet or saying, "It's the end of music." "This guy is a total hack." I've read it all. But at the same time, even though I feel a little vulnerable with that, I do feel comfortable.

It's rare when I feel like I can extract a lyrical message out of combining two things together.

Sharing information, art, music, and everything on the internet now has become a part of everyone's lives.

I feel like there's always something to prove.

Me and my friends would drive for eight hours to play for twenty people. That was cool, and if a couple of people bought t-shirts, that would be the greatest thing. We could go eat some hamburgers that night.

That's something I've always been down with: creative commons and people being able to license their music and allow other people to reuse it and recycle it.
