"As far as I can see, there are no problems with people in our band, as far as the relationships go anyway"
About this Quote
The other tell is the narrowing clause: “as far as the relationships go anyway.” That “anyway” is where the real story leaks through. It implies there are other categories of “problems” he’s not addressing: money, creative control, substance use, management, fatigue, career anxiety. By specifying “relationships,” he invites you to imagine those unmentioned tensions. It’s containment language, not celebration.
In pop culture, bands are sold as families, and families are sold as drama. Public curiosity tends to treat interpersonal conflict as the most legible plotline: who hates whom, who’s about to leave, who’s sleeping with whom. Rich’s line anticipates that tabloid logic and tries to short-circuit it with a calm, almost bureaucratic tone. The intent is stability; the subtext is fragility managed in real time. It works because it sounds casual while quietly acknowledging the machine that feeds on cracks.
