If I had **a dollar** for every time some old, 'I-live-with-my-head-under-the-sand' rock artist said something stupid about the web… I would *still* be a tech-blogger… But I would *also* have a pool of money. I’m not even sure where to begin disagreeing with what **Stevie Nicks** of Fleetwood Mac has to say.

The Internet is so, **so dumb**. Let’s turn this junk technology off.

Children no longer develop social graces. They don't hang out anymore… **I'm financially stable**. I'm okay. But what about the kids trying to make it in this business? If you're **not an established band**, if you don't have a hit single, they're gonna drop you. There are a lot of people out there **as talented as we were**, but they can't sustain being in a rock 'n' roll band for long without success. We were able to, but **we're going to die out**."
