The worst guy, the worst fair weather fan will come up to you on the street and go, hey, Bon. No, it's not Bon, motherfucker. You're not a very big fan.
I think we've at least hit a place now where There's stability. You know, I've said it before. We, my band and I at this time and those around our period, were there for what was called the gold rush, you know, when CDs were invented and everybody bought their record collection again and you could sell 20 million copies of an album. So I was fortunate enough to have been in the heat of that.

Nowadays, because they finally settled on streaming, I'm okay with it. You know, I wish and I blame Apple for breaking up the CD, the work of art, the book. They sold you one chapter of the book at a time instead of the entire book. I was always pissed off about that. And their attitude was, we're going to sell you one song at a time so you don't have to buy the whole album. Well, wait a minute.

I just wrote the whole album. I'm excited about the whole album. I want to present it as a whole. So I've always been pissed off since the advent of the iPod, but I think we've reached a stable place with streaming. And in this current state of affairs for the young talent, what was also daunting was that the record companies now aren't signing you because you just wrote a great song.

They want to know how many likes you've got on social media, which is a sin. But on the other hand, it affords the world the opportunity to have another Bob Dylan because there was a period in time where unless you sounded like you could sing on American Idol, you weren't going to get a record deal. So the internet allows for a Bob Dylan.

It's still as criminal as it ever was. It's harder on the young band, and how are they going to support themselves on the road if they don't have any record money or there's tour support and all the things that we had 40 years ago that they're not going to have now. I've heard and have been in on conversations, but it's obviously not something I can directly relate to,
