She liked Phish because it was her vehicle to get away from the mainstream, and now she was reverting back. Hell, I wanted to sing her the lyrics, and that is when I realized it was my duty to reveal the record companies' littlest secret. The pop single is a hoax. Unfortunately today album sleeves are full of models and letters about vegetarianism. When they do buy it, they just shove the disc in their carrying case and never read the sleeve.
Bottom line is there is nothing to know about a band from the single.
Not unless eight or nine songs from an album are singles. That has happened with bands like The Beatles, REM, and U2. But they are rarities, bolts of lightning, once a decade if we are lucky. MTV has infected us with a disease. One that Napster has nurtured and forced to spread like a cancer through the human spirit.
