The Top 40 crowd will drop us like a bad habbit after a few months, other audiences will support us to the bitter end and beyond (the Grateful Dead come to mind). Anyway, I'm just going to make the music I love and let what will be take it's course.

the end was not bitter for the grateful dead. Sad, yes, but not bitter. I heard Jerry died with a smile on his face ( in his sleep).
