| VOX: What do you think you would be doing if you weren't in a band? MG: Well, this wasn't what I initially wanted to do anyway. I would be teaching history at the university level, or probably high school. Maybe I would go and get my MBA� VOX: Are you into the Internet - do you see it as an important medium for the band? MG: I used to be. I fucking got rid of it. It lacks accountability. I hate things that lack accountability. Look, I think it's, the Internet is, the fucking greatest encyclopedia and research tool, but I could go out there and start an entire fucking religion and make millions. I could scam all sorts of people or plant a news story and probably get it picked up by fucking CNN and have be on the headline for twelve hours or so before someone figured it out. That's what happens with free access. No society with free access to all the knowledge and communication hasn't found a way to not fuck it up. Society can't govern itself. There is a reason why the Europeans smoke too much, drink all the time and fucking siesta every day - they've been to the top of the pyramid and have had enough. Now they sit back and watch America fuck it up. They've already done it. And once we're done and have had enough, maybe it'll be China's time or some other nation. VOX: How would you describe MGB live? MG: Kinda like a diet cola in a really flashy can. What does that mean? [Laughs] |
