i wouldn't expect them to be gone for long...they gotta realize sooner or
later that their following didn't come from publicity or distribution of
their records...their following would find a way to buy the records they
released, even if they were freaking indie releases. w/ or w/o Arista
records they would still release albums that would go gold over a year or
two and support them and any touring they would do. and SDRE is just so damn
cool, they sell out every indie music club they play, what more could they
ask for? the only ligitimate reason for them to break up is if they really
didn't want to play music any more.
i still look forward to what jeremy will do next, as well as dan's side
project...
i loved ROTFQ very much...and would pay ten or more dollars to see Jeremy
live any day of the week.
L8r on,
skinny
