And he means it. Vernon explains that he doesn’t intend to play too many live shows after realizing during the last Bon Iver tour that “playing shows for Live Nation is just ******** and **** that. I grew up loving bands like the Indigo Girls, and they stood for something, doing benefit shows and talking about **** and changing culture or changing people’s mindsets and raising awareness. What’s music for? It’s not about having a bunch of CDs.”
