CL: Thanks. I’m losing my voice, so if this is loud as it…maybe if I squish them together a little. Where’s that guy? Hey, that guy we’re paying – will you help me squish these together? So, when I went out with Jeff Mann, every time I’d pick up my guitar, he’d tell me I couldn’t play.
Guy in Crowd: In your face, Jeff!
Guy in Crowd: She is good!
Girl in Crowd: Relax! relax! relax!
CL: I talked to Madonna on the phone for an hour the other day – and you know what she said? Um, no, this is true…I think she’s nice, shut up. Um, she goes, “Um, I used to be really neurotic about going out with people more famous than me, but now that’s impossible.” She said that.
Audience laughs.

CL: Um, I don’t mean to be righteous or anything, but you guys all…you guys all bought Nirvana records, I see…so, the point is, is that, I’ve been having these industry meetings for the past couple of weeks and these people, they think you’re really stupid and they think you’re gonna buy anything that gets shoved down your throat, ’cause they’re just repackaging hair bands and calling them integrity punk rock bands…and you guys probably are gonna buy it, but that’s ok, ’cause…
Guy in Crowd: We don’t like ??
CL: Right. right. right. So I just wanted to tell you that. That’s my feelings, as an original new waver.
