We are using television as a medium to reach the older demographics, the 40-plus market, who still love music but don't have time to hang out in record stores anymore.

A while back, the musicians that built Rock & Roll or started Soul music were uncomfortable with television. But that's not true anymore. Everyone is older now. They all watch TV.

The catalogs of Motown and the Soul '70s and Rock & Roll '60s are disappearing from retail shelves. TV is the best way to talk to that audience now.

Unfortunately, in the music business everything changes. You'd like to stay at the same label, with the same manager, the same crew and have everything stay the same like Elvis did.

It's obviously a television studio. But it's also a live-music venue. We restored it with an ear and an eye to the past, and we respected the history.

Traditional broadcast media seems old-fashioned and vague to me. When I watch television news, I'm aware of what skilled journalists they are, but I find it hard because of the corny way they present it.
