Donations could have been set up, still could. Although I have less time and resources available currently than I did when I suggested the idea. Nobody contacted me to get it done though, and I doubt Dave wants to put any effort into adding a module to the site at the moment.
So I guess I\'ll just keep going to shows and encouraging others to come along for now.
Spacey is mostly right, although I do put a great deal of the blame on the musical ignorance of the masses. The fact is the majority of people simply don\'t enjoy maxed-out instrumentation ... in other words The Breakfast\'s music simply isn\'t easy to listen to for the average idiot. I\'m sure it took many of the fans here several shows before it really clicked. But once you get it... boy do you fuckin get it. These guys are musical geniuses. Unfortunately for the state of humanity, Lil\' Wayne has probably 50,000x as many people in his fanbase.
No doubt if everyone grew up listening to Phish, Zappa, Dead, etc the band would be highly successful. Yet we are a minority in this society. And it doesn\'t help that fans of those bands are mostly unaware of the existence of The Breakfast.
It\'s definitely a niche audience that can even tolerate The Breakfast, let alone become so absorbed and in tune with the music that it rocks our souls. A tough sell, indeed. I\'m just glad they haven\'t sold out one single bit.
