weezy Posted November 14, 2002 Report Share Posted November 14, 2002 That was an awesome article - so many good quotes... about gouging fans: quote: It's so wrong to say, 'OK, we've got them on the ticket and we've got them on the beer and we've got on everything else, let's get them on the damn parking.' You got to care about the person you're dealing with." about TV: quote: It is bad for your physical health and your mental health. The music business looks like, you know, innocent schoolboys compared to the TV business. They care about nothing but profit. They will make a movie about murdering their kids, you know? And they'll put the guy who killed them on TV. And before long, he might even have his own show Tom's a cool dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted November 15, 2002 Report Share Posted November 15, 2002 Check out this quick list of dialog by Tom Petty on Rollingstone.com. Tell it like it is... "Getting back to the whole issue of ticket prices: We don't do the Golden Circle/VIP thing. I don't see how carving out the best seats and charging a lot more for them has anything to do with rock & roll. A lot of the time, some corporation's bought up these seats with someone's money who doesn't even know it's being spent -- and they are going to use it to entertain clients. A lot of the people who buy these seats don't give a damn about the music -- they're going to get a waiter.What you see from the stage is a group of people just talking to each other, not really interested in being there at all. And the poor guy who really is interested, he's sitting way in the back." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
