ED DRISCOLL: LOST IN A SUPERMARKET. “How must it feel to walk out of a recording studio knowing that your group just nailed the dirtiest, nastiest, rudest heavy metal song ever recorded in the history of man, and then 20 years later hear it on the speakers of a suburban supermarket walking down the frozen food aisle? Back when I was a kid, rock and roll was something hard and bracing with a veneer of still being slightly ‘underground’ that you had to seek out; supermarket muzak was all syrupy strings and soothing melodies. At some point in the mid-1990s, I guess, that all went out the window.”

True, but speaking as an ASCAP member myself, I’m pretty sure that what they think when they hear their music, however butchered, in the frozen food aisle is mostly ka-ching! Especially 20 years later, when even rock musicians are thinking about their retirement accounts.
