Most people didn't have the bandwidth to download whole albums. And so it brought back this cherry picking idea that the audience would focus on certain songs and possibly be the impetus behind what eventually got on AM radio: the single or whatever.

There are still people who believe in that and wake up every day believing it’s possible, and invest their whole selves in that.

I’ve got billions of sparrows to worry about as well as everything else’. So there’s the whole idea that whatever it is that you believe, it can never be valid unless you have some consensus reality demonstration.

As much as I’d like to be listening to other things, I can’t do that until I get all of this sort of put to bed.

I get my sticks and go out to the shed, and I pound on that drum like it was my boss’s head.

So I don’t think I’m gonna pull my head into my shell just because a bunch of people start acting like idiots.
