“I enjoy music that is commercial.”

There are people that bring artists to me to look at it and it’s a question of whether I like their music and their look and if I think there’s something they have that makes them different and commercial.

There’s artists that I’m working with on a new label of mine. Foxy Nova and Supa Nova.

I would say that I’ve been lucky. Being blessed and not really ever giving up.

But a lot of the old fans are listening to a lot of the younger music. So I gotta keep moving forward, and they’ll move forward too.

Music was what I always wanted to do and I was one of the lucky few to achieve my ambition and earn a living from it for which I’m very grateful.

I could easily not be the person that people know.

The reality is, some people don’t want you to change or go anywhere different.

You can find a diamond in the rough a lot of times.

I’m continuing to produce and will start a new record soon, as well.

Unfortunately, a lot of executives aren’t like producers, and can’t hear the diamond in the rough.

The Internet is a whole new world opening up.

It might be a huge hit, it might not; but you learn something doing it.

I usually prepare a track and then I work with the artist when it’s time to do the vocals.

I don’t go to that many Broadway shows, so I can’t really say anything.

Commercial music, for the most part, is popular music and you always have to keep that in mind.

When I was in top 40 bands, I always had to learn new material and new styles.

All day long you see those commercials: ‘Here’s Your Brain, Just Say No’…and the next commercial is: ‘This Bud’s For You.’

Pornography is any act that has no artistic merit and causes sexual thoughts…Sounds like almost every commercial on TV to me.

The whole world loves American movies, blue jeans, jazz and rock and roll. It is probably a better way to get to know our country than by what politicians or airline commercials represent.

I can’t believe a war against drugs when they have anti-drug commercials on TV all day long followed by This Bud is for you.

A belief that no commercial activities must be allowed inside the park, but permitting unrestrained development outside, even though the landscape there may be just as outstanding.

At the same time all this was happening, there was a folk song revival movement goingon, so the commercial music industry was actually changed by the Civil Rights Movement.

Investment banks manage to go bankrupt through their investment-banking activities, commercial banks manage to go bankrupt through their commercial-banking activities.

There are certain things that are usable, forceful, and vital about commercial art. We’re using those things – but we’re not really advocating stupidity, international teenagerism, and terrorism.
