"I'd rather have a small following of really cool people who get it, who will grow with us as we grow and are fans for life, than people that have us in their five-disc changer with Reba McEntire and Toby Keith," Maguire said. "We don't want those kinds of fans. They limit what you can do."

I don't know the music business but seems to me that if your goal is to limit your audience and play to a small group of cool people only you won't be around very long. Business is business. I don't care how many producers and record company executives agree with your rants the bottom line is money. If you don't make the record execs money you don't make records.

I doubt the record execs are too impressed at being on the billboard top ten cool people chart.

What you said is dead on. What a stupid thing for Maguire to say. I have no problem not buying their stuff. It wasn't that good to begin with.
