What would Bach think?

Or even Motzart, or Beehtoven, if they walked into a Sam Goody and saw that a cd of theirs that contained 60 minutes of music on it being sold for $20. I honestly think they would go nuts and kill some people.
Thus is the reason why Metallica sucks. So what if a small group of kids were downloading the new album and Lars got another hair up his ass and decided to release the cd today instead of next tuesday. It's not like the members of Metallica are eating bread and water for dinner. Shit, they have enough money that their great grand kids are set for life. Yet they cry out for more, more money. Is this what music has become? An industry based upon greed insead of appreciation? I mean c'mon, how many musicans REALLY REALLY need the million dollar homes, and the expensive clothes, and the $1,000 sunglasses. I think that musicians need to be more apperciative towards people who listen to their music, than try to milk the average music lover for every dime they got.

I'd love to see Lars' head explode. That'd be swweeeeet.

Good question Wark - beats the hell out of me. It certainly wouldn't drive them to madness, as they were already mad. My decision is still being rendered on the whole downloading music thing - I see the pros and cons. I will say that musicians should be able to demand and receive whatever dollar amount they can - if we're willing to pay for it, it must be worth it - it's simple economics really. If certain musicians have reached a level that they can afford $1,000 sunglasses, then God bless 'em. Wish I was there. Good art is worth $, and music certainly qualifies.
