Buildings Quotes
Living in Barcelona, I have my own little ghetto utopia. There are 3,000 ghost towns in Spain, and I've used the images of them a lot in my backdrops for my solo spoken-word stuff. The ghost towns could be from two buildings to 40 - things died out, or there were plagues, the roads don't lead there, whatever.

Acoustic Quotes
After I did the solo acoustic tour last year, I felt like I was in a position to start working with people again. I think the shroud of Husker Du was finally laid to rest, and people who wanted to were able to hear those songs for what was probably the last time. So having personally cleared the slate, it just seemed like a good idea to get some people together.

America Quotes
The requirements for illustrating an eight-page story are as different from that of an ensemble-cast mini-series as they are different from a solo ongoing. Whether or not they're named Captain America or Ruby Thursday matters less to me than whether or not their characterization is consistent and actions logical... storytelling concerns.

Freedom Quotes
That is the true joy of being a solo artist. I can do whatever I want. I can go wherever I want. I can show up with my guitar and my song, and it can sound a hundred different ways. That's the freedom of being on your own. The flipside is: That's you on the cover. If it sucks, it's your fault.

Business Quotes
After Tommy and Pam's video came out, it was everywhere, ... It obviously did not help him sell a lot of solo records. Now do people know his name? Absolutely. But people in the rock world also know my name. If you were in the business of selling porn tapes, it would be wonderful, but I'm not.

Album Quotes
I had an idea that it would just, I was going to do a four-record deal with Rounder. I was going to do two studio albums, a live album and an all-acoustic album, a solo album, which I have yet to do. And then I was just going to take whatever notoriety I had and I was going to come to like California and try to get small bit parts in movies or something. Small parts, not leading parts, not like Elvis Presley did. I'm talking about just small parts and then maybe just play music on the side. It just didn't work out that way.

Artist Quotes
I personally never really play big venues (as a solo act). When you play big shows with bigger scenes, it's the same in the way that every stage is the same; it's like this sacred spot. But the bigger shows are a little more surreal. There's a rapport that the artist you're playing with has developed with the audience on a large level, in this case, Dave. Any song he's gonna play, they're gonna love it, because they know his shit.

Artist Quotes
If everyone in the group is a stakeholder, you're dividing that money in shares a lot more different ways. If you have one artist and a bunch of hired dancers, vocalists, and musicians, they're getting paid salary, and it becomes a profitable venture sooner, in most cases, with a solo artist.
