"Wider...Wider.....Whooooooa....not that wide."

"F*ck yeah THAT wide!"

+1 jillion internets to whoever gets that quote.

(Just to get some on-topic content in here...I think the Eagles' music smells like a dirty taint...yeah, that should do it.)

Who do I talk to about playing there? I know a lot of the old free-sample ladies, but I think they're just sluts that hang around and don't actually know mgmt.

That's because they have a ton of money to play with already.

As Paul McCartney said about his decision to switch to Hear Music, the majors are like the dinosaurs sitting around waiting for the asteroid. It's just ironic that these older (or let's say "veteran" acts) are the ones finding new ways to shift units.

700k in a week is pretty damn good considering the current enviroment, especially as this is an album that will sell pretty steadily through the holiday season. The Eagles, Garth, et al are actually doing something successful with a new business model.
