Poison however, came from the previous school of thought where a band worked hard to get that major label deal. Enigma continued to be involved for years after we were involved with Capitol. No one from Capitol ever set foot into our rehearsals or studios until Native Tongue. We did what we felt was right. If you cut a record deal and a merch deal, you are as sold out as the next guy even if you run around claiming you have integrity with a hippie attitude and the clothes to match.
Pop music is a whore.
Nothing is worse than whores running around posing as musicians with integrity. And damn, there are a lot of them these days. Well, if Poison is responsible for alternative being the adverse reaction, then alternative is now responsible for Boy bands. Courtney is the epitome of sold out. She knows it and anyone who still thinks people like her aren't are the real fuckin' jokes.
