when they support a band/musician they admire even when the musician makes choices that the fan may not support.. Like this buisness with Mayer. Like him or not, our beloved Avett brothers are doing something that will inevitably expand their listening audience and hopefully their success.

We all have noticed that the band no longer plays 50 person venues where they sit and chat after the show with those who hang around or have to dodge beer bottles between songs....and some of you hardcore fans will lament their growth and success, perhaps even call them sell-outs.
