How rude!
--Satan, quoted by John Milton
It just seems kinda stupid to me.
I see radio as the commercials of the music industry, and now it's like the RIAA turn around and charge the people for giving them airplay and giving their artists popularity.
I DUNNO. Maybe it's just me.

Except this is completely different.
I'm whining about a company killing radio because they don't think they're making enough.

If everyone is so unhappy about RIAA and their methods.....just stop doing business with them. Music is not bread or water, you can live perfectly fine without it. Enough people get fed up with their business practices and cease buying their products? They'll be forced to either adapt or perish as a business.
But seeing as people are still buying...they must be doing something right, no?
Nothing out right now is worth buying anyways.

Nobody's going to be buying if they have no idea what to buy.
And to some of us, music might as well be bread or water. If I, as a consumer, have no legal ways to discover new music, how am I as a consumer able to actually purchase it?
Stop buying CDs and start going to concerts - you will give more help to the artists and no help to the RIAA.

Which is why I love the underground. Direct support of the bands - no suits (unless the band members are wearing suits...) and a new set of bands every day.Stop buying CDs and start going to concerts - you will give more help to the artists and no help to the RIAA.
You have no idea how much I'd like to and how soon I would, if only I didn't live in Maine.

Trade you Maine for Vegas.

I work different shifts than my parents so they probably wouldn't notice I shrunk and grew a funky Whitefro.
Straighten your finger out a bit, grow some fucking hair and make sure it stays curled and you're golden.
Where's the money go? Hmm...I wonder...
