It's right there.

You taste it.

That's what they do with everybody.

Again, that's what happened to Prince.

That's what happened to Skinner.

That's what happened to most bands.

I mean, they're very clever in how they do it.

They sign a bunch of people that are emerging and some of them are going to hit and they bankroll it and then they make the majority of the money when those people hit.

It's crazy how bad people can get ahead like that.

Well, it takes the good people to create things, though.

The creative people make the things, and there's always just going to be people taking advantage of people being naive about business.

Well, it's a horrible existence because nobody loves you when you're like that.

If you're doing that and fucking people over, all your relationships are adversarial.

It's a bad way to exist.

You're on a very bad frequency, the way you exist with the people in your circle.

There's a lot of people that choose that life just for financial benefit.

They choose to just fuck people over and be in that bad frequency all the time.
