Since the traditional recorded-music business models have drastically changed, there is truly diminished income derived from recorded music by artists - both current and catalog. The touring industry has become much more important as a majority revenue stream and the ancillary fan experiences and promotions that may be derived from it.

You can't be an entrepreneur and work in a public company anymore.

History shows fans want consolidation; you see it across the web every place. The big players are people like Google, Amazon, eBay, Facebook.

Radio stinks. The stations are making a lot of money, but they just aren't taking chances.

I don't want to not be important.

I can't think of any more powerful moment than when you stand on a stage.
