Bill Bennet’s take on this during his morning talk show was very helpful to me.

Basically the sense that I got was that artists seems to do best when they are opposing the established order. It’s just the nature of art and artists.

While that helps me understand the psychology of this I still don’t relish the idea of my money supporting them.

Just as I do with actors who have to have their say, so now I get to cross a few names off my list for CD purchases as well.

It’s too bad, though some of these guys do good stuff. Oh well,

Is that not cutting off your nose to spite your face?
