I realize, though, that the way to win this is just make it completely non-political.

No politics.

Don't go up there and be trolling.

Don't go up there and talk about Trump or anything like that.

Make a good product.

Just make a good product.

all of the stage last year with kendrick lamar but ultimately i will say it's already in another sense though in in like a higher sense it is political right it's political because the left in this country has separated from the traditional idea of american patriotism and so patriotism didn't used to be political it is now yeah and and that's what made

Alter Bridge was on tour in Europe Alter Bridge was on tour in Europe And they were literally in Spain But you're getting them next year for sure We're gonna see We're gonna see what we do We're gonna see what we do I will be disappointed

Just so long as you don't have any... Front row, boxers, throw it on stage.

No, again, though, again... I got a pitch for you guys.

When it comes to any one artist, and this is what... It was a huge learning curve for me on so much of this.

I feel like I should have called you to explain how all the rights work to everybody.

It's not even up to the artists.
