GI: How many tours have you done now, 40-something? MW: Something like that… 37. The whole history of San Francisco gigs is intense. It was [The Minutemen's] first out-of-town gig. Bill Graham owned all the clubs. We made a point to play the loser guys who weren't under his umbrella. I thought, loser in the short distance, maybe the big man, yeah, but in the long run, he's holding everything, he's gonna start calling the tune. Where, if we support the indie cats... These cats weren't offering a better deal or loser anything, but we just saw something about owning -- like this Bill Gates thing -- owning all the marbles. It's not good, whether it's an operating system, or it's pads to play. Big thing, especially with this "alternative" scene, is it's pretty heavy, to even have to be associated with it. It's no longer the cutting edge. It's not blowing minds, it's making some people some money, okay.
