Awww....has the Palin/Gibson thing really run its course, Charlie?
I thought maybe I could squeeze one more thread out of it, Charlie.
Someone humor me, Charlie.

I agree with the statement that "It's Mainstream to be Indie",  getting Mainstream media coverage doesn't automatically equate with necessarily with becoming a Mainstream artists.  Because for me reaching Mainstream status is based on sales...  Remember Motown in the 60s was an indie label with Mainstream appeal...

hopefully when the cock-accepting singer of Okkervil River gets his act together and starts chasing the dragon.

I'd be okay with the Of Montreal singer doing this as well.
