That's very interesting, never thought about that. It should be obvious though having a band being interviewed about what artists they like or who influenced them. It's like you said where it could be something as simple as seeing John Frusicante wearing a Charles Mingus t-shirt for you to be interested in what they listen to. hmm...

I don't think I came across like I wanted to. I just meant has anyone changed what they listen to out of their own accord after listening to what you do? Their not being forced to drop everything and listen to your tastes. Maybe I should've worded it better?
