GOO GOO DOLLS COZY UP TO THE INTERNET

CHICAGO (AP) -- Goo Goo Dolls singer John Rzeznik's advice for musicians and the Internet: adapt or get pulled under. Rzeznik says the Internet has killed the traditional ways of selling music, and he considers himself fortunate that he's in a band that tours and gets radio play. One thing he's embraced about the Internet is what he calls the democratization of music. He says he can announce on stage that he's doing a new song and fans should get out their cameras, and by the next stop on the tour, fans will sing the words to a song he's only ever played once in public.
