Gene Ween

When it comes to the recording and writing, it's still mostly Mickey and I. But now there's this whole live entity that's a whole different thing, and it seems to be where we're gaining the most popularity.

Now in a way, money is money, and if it's going to increase our audience, that's fine.

Know that I am extremely proud of all that is 'Ween.'

Most of our fans seem to be very intelligent people who don't stand out too much, but they're still total freaks. I like that - they're smart and sadistic, which I think is a reflection at us.

Forty minutes in front of Beck isn't really where it's at.

We love doing commercial and TV show work.

In life sometimes, in the universe, you have to close some doors to have others open.

I want to sound like Christopher Cross in another ten years, and be totally proud of it.

We had been working. We had a bunch of songs written and it came time to make the record, so we had our lawyer make the call to Elektra and ask for our advance. Then, we got dropped. It was actually exciting.

We sold a certain, steady amount of product for them and they could count on it. When it came time to ask for the money for this new record, they dropped us. It was fine with us. It was a dead fish.

A few years ago, one of our singles got beaten out by Better Than Ezra. The label could only have one band at a time being taken to the right people at radio, and they opted for Better Than Ezra instead of us. Who knows.
