To me, it is the same thing. IMO, if he really wanted to do what the hell he wanted and the devil damn the rest of the world, he would have gone to a label that would have let him do that. His bravada during the day certainly suggested that was his mindset. Yet, he stayed with the big time label and remained there until they were totally disinterested in 2000 or so. When you stay with a big label, you have to make concessions to the commercial gods Therein lies my biggest problem with people saying LB is such a maverick, etc. It is pretty hard to be that and be with a big label, though the likes of Madonna did it with huge success. Of course, her popularity and proven gimmicks commanded her that option. Plus, I believe Madonna at some point owned her label (Maverick? ) - but I could be wrong.
