Just a couple of suncophants pretending to be big time.
I wonder how badly Will and Ian get burned financially when they do play live now.
They've always relied on "friends" to do the grunt work for them (web site, disbursement, fullfillment). Sometimes these folks do a half way decent job; sometimes they stink. Regardless, it's the band's reputation that takes a hit.
I'm getting the feeling that they aren't making much money even with the live shows. Just a feeling. Plus, it appears they aren't making much off the recordings. There's an off handed comment from the webmaster on New BOF saying that the Fillmore/HOB live cd shows were a "flop." The OR cd/dvd was a very limited run, so maybe they were able to squeeze some profit out of it. Who knows.
If it's good enough for the band then why does it matter?
