Third Eye Blind 18.  You guys toured with Ratt last Fall.  Did you know that Pearcy was going to bail back then?  Did you see any fights or good shit like that? No we didn’t know.  Just the ones we were in.  Things were pretty mellow

19.  According to SoundScan, for the week of March 8, 2000, you guys sold something like 32 CDs.  Those are Pretty Boy Floyd numbers.  Shit, Slaughter does better than that.  How do you feel about that?
I don’t.  That is 32 more chicks with my picture on their wall.  Three bands, Aerosmith, Kiss,  Cheap Trick, all of which had the same problem.  Besides, we stopped working that record awhile ago.  On to the next.
