The tenor of the comments as we got closer and closer to August got dominated by 'Wouldja please get this over with' and not let us go into default.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Even at the last minute we were still debating what was gonna be released as the first single.
By Thursday morning, we'd gotten over the worst of it.
I don't know of any of us that want to see any kind of default happen.
I don't like knowing what the next song is because that's what I'd think about during the number we're playing.
Almost every day I wrap up my two-hour live broadcast and I say to myself as I'm driving home, 'I wish I would've done this' or 'We really should have gone live longer with this segment.'
Anytime you open your mouth there's going to be someone who's put off. I try to deal with that by keeping the topical portions of my show brief. I realize that some people wish my comments were briefer.
The American people were really not 100% convinced that this idea of default was really going to occur, and I think the media, current company excepted here, did not help in that regard because they confused the American people about what default actually meant.
If any of our songs ever did make it on the top ten, I'd disband the group immediately.
There's a certain kind of motion and pacing that our music has, and this just doesn't have that. We just kind of rushed to the conclusion of most of the songs. I just would've preferred to done them over.
The fans know that I have been giving it my all and that we had the good judgment to when to say when.
