The music business has changed incredibly. There used to be 50 record companies. Now there's only three, and it's just getting smaller and smaller. But then again, you have the Internet, so anybody who has music can get it out there.

The music industry is transforming fairly rapidly.

I have always abhorred the business end of music.

Today, music is great for entertainment, but it is lacking soul; it's lacking substance, and it's difficult to find good stuff. There are too many corporate interests. It's not about the actual music because it's about the corporation, and music just becomes part of a package.

The music industry has been hijacked by corporate interests, but the way music affects people and resonates with them hasn't changed.

Unfortunately, music devolved instead of evolved. The music business got into the hands of lawyers and accountants rather than the entrepreneurial creative people, and that's when the beginning of the end started. It's all based on money instead of art and creativity.

The music business is one of a few places where everything you've heard about it seems entirely cliche, but it's true.

At the end of the day, I want the music industry to be larger than what it is today.

Playing music is the best thing in the world. It makes show business almost bearable.
