Well, there's like 300 million people in America (and only about 50
million voted for Bush). My experience is that audiences exist for
just about every kind of music, especially when the ideas and "vision"
in that music is communicated.

One thing I take comfort in is the amount of fans there are for the
'fringe bands' of commercial radio - Pink Floyd, The Grateful Dead,
Bjork, Radiohead, etc...  If so many people are stimulated by the
strangest thing they can hear on a clearchannel station, it seems
likely that many of them would have ears for something even more 'out
there'.
