When a record co. finds a guy now, they want to own everything. They want to own the rights to market that person's particular name. They want a piece of the action all the way through.

All I want to do is do my shows and play golf.

A record co. is just a vehicle for public appearances.

If you're not on a major label today, you're not gonna get played. They've got the market sewed up.

All I have to concentrate on is my performing.

I had some airline stock, but the airlines tanked. I didn't have a lot of money in them, though.

Cause I can make more money going in and doing my recordings and selling them through my entities that I have, rather than going to a record co. and them release a record and pay me 5 percent of what they make off it.
