The Band Cannot Sign To

Doubt The Conventional Wisdom Unless You Can Verify It With Reason And Experiment

Almost Any Decent Cook Will Make Food By Eye And Taste. Virtually All Of My Family Cooked That Way.

I Do Not Want And Will Not Take A Royalty On Any Record I Record. I Think Paying A Royalty To A Producer Or Engineer Is Ethically Indefensible. The Band Write The Songs. The Band Play The Music. It's The Band's Fans Who Buy The Records. The Band Is Responsible For Whether It's A Great Record Or A Horrible Record. Royalties Belong To The Band. I Would Like To Be Paid Like A Plumber. I Do The Job And You Pay Me What It's Worth.

In 1980, I Moved To Chicago, And I Recorded Demo Tapes For My Friends' Bands, And In 1981, The First Big Black Record - The First Thing I Did That Was An Actual Record.

By Now All Rock Bands Are Wise Enough To Be Suspicious Of Music Industry Scum
