This is from a salon.com interview with punk legend Ian Mackaye . I colored the relevant part.
I’m not asking for advice on critiquing it. It just struck me as profoundly non-sequitur. People involved with music, especially punk rock, make claims about economics but rarely do they make sense to me.
Does it take a shrewd entrepreneur to maintain a record label?
No. I was talking to a business guy once, an accountant, and he said, “They should invite you to come speak at Harvard Business School.” And I said, “Well, I don’t give a fuck about business.” I reject the whole notion. American business at this point is really about developing an idea, making it profitable, selling it while it’s profitable and then getting out or diversifying. It’s just about sucking everything up. My idea was: Enjoy baking, sell your bread, people like it, sell more. Keep the bakery going because you’re making good food and people are happy. Dischord really does exist as a result of hard work and the goodwill of the people.
