I think this thread is a good thing - you can only have so many Wilco is Awesome! threads. Like someone said - if a band has a big enough following to create a message board, then why not have discussions like this. Some people feel strongly, others want to joke around, and some want to be critical of the those who feel strongly/joke around. I have been all three. This is the pattern that usually happens here - for better or worse.

Neil Young Archives Forum Does anyone know what the deal is with the black magic marker circle inside of American Stars 'n Bars?

It seems that way - although, maybe someone with more information will say.

I don't know - maybe someone with more knowledge could tell us.

You see that a lot now - dudes hiding them in the comment section.

Let me guess - low bit rate mp3 blog?

Sorry I ruined your day.

At the end of the day, everything is about women.

I think I would have to throw Michael Shrieve and Bill Buford in that mix.

I wasn't really talking to you - I should have made that post clearer. I am sure Greg Allman does not go to bed hungry. But then again - he may not own that song anymore. These songs are used to get people to feel happy when they contemplate buying a product - not to get someone to go buy the album the song is on. Also - it is mainly baby boomers that these things are directed to.

I think that is BS. When I hear the song Melissa by The Allman Brothers Band, I don't want to think about how it was used in a feminine hygiene commercial. Just another example of greed. The rich always want more money.

Ben on Best Week Ever.

I hope to find the whole special somewhere - I am sure it is out there to snag.

I'm not really a fan - but that is a nice deal for their fans. This is the way The Beatles and Stones catalogs should be done.

Something else that may come into play here - Bruce and Tom Petty own their own songs. Bob Dylan - I read somewhere once that he does not own anything prior to 1974. Neil - I would think owns all of his songs.

They are even cooler when you are standing in front of him watching him do them.

Terrible?

He didn't sign off on that usage - actually he spoke against it. Tom Petty is another one - he has stated that he has turned downed millions by now to sell his songs to advertisers.

Yes, that is a good place to learn of such things.

Yes - There are others also - Destroyer - Exile on Franklin St.

I think there are some numbers in this thread.
