The difference between having one hit and not is that in 30 years you'll still hear "Wave on Wave" when you shop at Kroger and certainly you won't hear any of my songs. I'd be willing to bet "Merry Christmas from the Family" will make the perennial canned Christmas music cut, though. - David B

HAHA, I spelled Heights wrong. I suck at spelling. Damn you spell check.

Nashville sucks. (The music-industry-machine there, not the city -- I love the city.) That's all I have to say.

I know I'm awful. I'm sorry. I just hate the song "College", but I don't hate Pat Green. :) But some of his new mainstream stuff still makes me wish to vomit, and I would like to point out that while I am not a hater of those who become mainstream, when REK started to go mainstream, his critical acclaim fell to dismal lows. When he went back to his roots, it rose back up to new hights, and I would hardly call being able to sell out shows across the United States and Europe any less impressive than having one mainstream hit. I haven't even met you yet Eric, but I can tell I really like you!
