More From Tom Petty

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?
Money Night Crowds
Most artists are making as much money now as they could have made... in the heyday of def jam [when the] beastie boys would sell 10 million records or dmx would sell 6 or 7 million records. those records are one thing, but then all the other ways to exploit the emotional relationship between artist and community is so much greater that i would guess that they're making as much or more money than they could have ever made.

There are a lot of musicians who are still desperately trying to pretend that it's 1998 and by having a huge marketing campaign, they somehow believe that they can sell 10 million records. that's delusional. no one sells 10 million records. the days of musicians getting rich off of selling records are done.

There's a property in panama where trump has collected somewhere around $30 million just from selling his name to this property - it's somewhere between $30 million and $50 million. it would be so easy for a developer to slap on an extra $6 million to a trump licensing deal and have that be a backdoor bribe. who are we to say what that is worth? it's so ephemeral. and this is the appeal of selling something as ephemeral as a brand name, is that it can be inflated beyond all reason.

At 13 years old, i realized i could start my own band. i could write my own song, i could record my own record. i could start my own label. i could release my own record. i could book my own shows. i could write and publish my own fanzine. i could silk-screen my own t-shirt. i could do this all myself.

The mute grain turns to love songs when swallowed by the nightingale.
Song Mute Grain
If you look at a lot of the songs i've been involved in, there's always been this retro vibe. i started getting worried that i wasn't moving forward very much, nor was i even in tune with the music today. i almost scoffed at it.
