Palavras para quê, quando a bravura de se ser "independente" se vai para não se desagradar a quem os contrata para um espectáculo. Fabuloso artigo no New York Times (e este link não tem como sponsor a Playstation, juras? Juro!) sobre os "independentes" num estádio de baseball:
"If you were in a Scottish band given the opportunity to plan an American baseball stadium; and if this stadium belonged to, say, the Brooklyn Cyclones, the Class A affiliate of the New York Mets; and if your famously un-macho lead singer had gone to the trouble of putting on a Mets T-shirt and bringing a baseball bat onstage; and if, furthermore, your band had recently recorded a song about the sexual orientation of a famous Met (it's called, "Piazza, New York Catcher") - well then, wouldn't you take the opportunity to play it?"
