I didn't say I had a militia. I said I had a team. Jesus. I'm talking about people to work the sound-boards and handle the layering. You know. The actual work.
I have a manager. And a PR agent. I don't require a team of handlers, unlike some people. Or has your dad let you off your leash since the last time we talked?
And I measure success by how much my fans enjoy what I do, and how much I enjoy it. I'm enjoying it a lot. The gold albums say they're also enjoying it.
