It's all catchy and sounds good to me, so I guess I've proven you wrong?

While we're at it we should convince Kanye to front a country rock band.

I call it musical integrity. The minute I make a pop song is the minute I alienate my massive audience.

are you doing a parody of yourself?

let me ask you this... do you think you could write a pop hit if you wanted to?

It's only integrity if you think there's a chance anyone will actually pay to listen to it.

...I'm not sure you understood what you just said there Bat. Money wasn't in my criteria to begin with.

I could write a pop song easily, but whether or not it can be a hit goes far beyond the composition itself. The thing is that I'm not a fan of that music so...why would I want to play it? I play the music I enjoy, that's really all that matters.

could you write a decent pop song then... one with the potential to be a hit sans any marketing... which is basically just a decent catchy pop song?
