The whole '4 real' thing is normally something that comes from rockers through and through. Good point, but not necessarily a more valid one than others.

this is a problem for which the grateful dead found a ready solution. play as often as fucking possible, for forty years straight, five nights a week of available, and the trick to get the mass distribution of records, play EVERYWHERE and ALWAYS let people record your shows, even straight from the soundboard...
