      <![CDATA[Yeah, Paul and the Mats seem unlikely to sell out now, given how poorly selling out (or trying to) worked for them the first time.<br>
<br>
I think a difference between the rule-breakers and the new crop is that the new crop has a different--post-punk, post-modern--set of standards about integrity. (Which is probably a worse standard.

      <![CDATA[Well, here's the thing: those bands wrote the rulebook (or, literally the lyrics: "I hope I die before I get old") for how rock bands should act, and then they broke every rule in it as they continued, as Azerrad put it, "trotting out the warhorses" every night, for tons and tons of money. And I worry that we've created an environment where because one generation of bands wound up ditching its principals, we slowly lower our standards for everyone else.

      <![CDATA[You say, "surely a huge percentage of today's biggest indie-rock bands, would say they have no problem with the Clapton/Floyd/Who thing". And I have an honest question: isn't there, in fact, a difference?
