"These days theres no faith in radio or television, theres faith in live events. People are getting their music off the internet, you can't trust radio or television because its all about commerce, and theres tricks being played everywhere. So you can put your faith in a live event. It's not necessarily escaping. Its kind of like going to the center where things are unified and that feels good. Its refreshing and relaxing like being being under a nice big tree" - PERRY FARRELL
