If we play to first time Blink 182 listeners, it's good they are listening to us and not the Backstreet Boys. Old Fans or new fans, it's all the same to us.
You look around our audiences, and you see the spectrum - old fans and young people.
But a lot of the old fans are listening to a lot of the younger music. So I gotta keep moving forward, and they'll move forward too.
Like everyone else, I don't want it to get too far away from the racing because as time progresses, we're trying to get new fans and still keep the old fans and we've still got to have the racing.
It takes only one bad amp to turn your ears to oatmeal: That's how old hippies became Yanni fans.
We seem to be keeping old fans and are bringing on new fans that are teenagers. I think that is amazing. When I was a teenager, that was when I fell in love with music. It affected me in a deep way. That's why I love having teenagers at our shows.
The soundtrack of O Brother is the most publicity I've gotten. I don't feel that I have lost any of my old fans, but I have gained new ones.
We don't try to please everyone. Those older fans who expect something from The Roots are a tad more important to me than getting new fans.
I'm excited to bring in a new fan base for 'Charmed' and to surprise and shock the old ones as well - bridge the gap between both. Maybe I'll get some superpowers!
