"Sing" was recently used on Glee, which a few bands (Foo Fighters, Kings of Leon) have recently come out against. How do you feel about the show?
It's a show about music, and we're not ever opposed to that sort of thing. In a lot of ways, it's the radio. So if it gets your message across, to use that kind of platform, then we'll use that kind of platform and still say no to Twilight. 'Cause to me that's not a platform, that's hawking a lifestyle whereas this is a show about music. It's really racy and it pushes a lot of things--I know it bothers a lot of Republicans too.
It's interesting because a lot of bands come out against it in certain ways, but I end up hearing a lot of these same bands using their songs in car commercials and stuff like that. I find that very interesting--where do you draw the line and with what? Get your music out there and get it heard, I thought that was always the point. And still you want to do that with a tremendous amount of integrity, too. Something like Glee, we don't have any control over how they're going to use it, but we knew that they would try and do a great job with it, so we knew it was in good hands.
