I couldn’t tell you what the standing is in radio, I’m in the streaming world. I’m in the podcasting world. Radio just sounds archaic almost. It’s a never-ending battle. I’m so glad I’m retired so I don’t have to see the nonsense.
I don’t want to be responsible for messing up someone. I don’t want to be responsible for that, because the things that happened in The Verve, it was heavy stuff. It was real. It wasn’t just frivolous nonsense, you know what I mean? There was real people’s lives.

The most insidious thing about trickle-down economics is not the claim that if the rich get richer, everyone is better off. It is the claim made by those who oppose any increase in the minimum wage that if the poor get richer, that will be bad for the economy. This is nonsense.
At any time, somebody can blow themselves up and take Americans with them. They can blow up an airplane; they can crash an airplane.
