    An Important Read for Music Fans

    in Someone Else's Song

    Louie, you're missing the whole point of the article. Did you read it? Seriously?

     

    Yes, he's using her as an example, but who cares if she stole the music or not.....the article is really directed at every kid / adult out there today who does steal music because they can....because there is no police to stop them. And because they've been stealing for so long, and now its just the norm. How dare we ask people to NOW stop STEALING.

     

    My guess is if there was a restaurant near you that was on the honor system, i.e. you simply leave money in a box on your way out.....you would pay for your food for a while, but once you saw others just walk out without paying, you'd begin doing the same thing. And soon everyone would do that. And eventually if that restaurant ever started enforcing payment, everyone would bitch and whine and cry about how unfair it is.... and that the french fries weren't that good..... And you'd go down to MacDonalds and buy from them.

    Here's Bob Lefsetz's take on it. You can probably tell what his thoughts are from the title of the blog post.

     

    And if you think being rich is everything, you never read Gregg Allman’s book, wherein he states:

     

    "Money doesn’t impress me worth a f**k, and it doesn’t make me feel good. I’ve had it both ways – I’ve been rich and I’ve been broke."

     

    Gregg’s all about playing music.

     

     

    Love how Bob Lefsetz quotes Gregg Allman of all people. Of course Greg is currently on a freakin' BOOK TOUR (could there be anything less artistic) trying to sell as many books as possible and make as much money as possible. But of course for Gregg its all about playing music -- well that and sitting in Barnes / Noble selling books.

     

    Bob Lefsetz's just a blowhard that likes to disagree with whatever.

    LouieB - Yes. I if you buy a movie and make a copy of it for friends, that's stealing. If you buy a book and make a copy for friends, that's stealing. If you buy a CD and make a copy of that CD for friends, that's stealing. (Let them listen to the album and then go buy it).

     

    Wilco choose to stream that album, right? They own it. They can do what they want, in this case, smart marketing.

     

    Mr. Heartbreak. Maybe you should read the article before you respond. That would answer many of you questions/comments. And you do know there are many sites that allow you to preview songs before you purchase. You don't need to download anything to check it out.

    Self titled, "Elton John" (1970) through "Honky Chateau" (1972) were the best of times. And "Tumbleweed Connection" is the best - by far.

     

    "Rocket Man" -- drugs? homesexuality? stardom? What a great song.
