Same thing here.It's not best to do anything other than what one has the resources, and what one chooses, to do.
The point is that cold money is a shallow way of expressing appreciation for art and buying CDs just helps to desecrate art to the level of disposable product, of plastic, of dots and figures.
I make albums and give em away free - I get by on a part time job and I buy nothing. I have a great life because experience is better than ****ing buying shit I don't need and attaching fake sentimentality to material goods.
As long as ive got whiskey and cocaine im alrite.
**** buying anything.
**** canada.
Ok... lemme take this slow.
1. How do you compare buying a cd and finding money on the ground? I would pick up the money, of course. But thats different from giving my money to an artist. I really dont even see a connection.
2. Listen, cold money is THE way of expressing my appreciation when the dude is working for months to sell it to you. to SELL it to you. This is his job, dude.
If noone buys the stuff you're trying to sell at your parttime job and stole it instead, how would you feel? Same thing here.
3. Noone actually enjoys being broke, and if I feel like I have a shot at getting rich from my music... I'm taking it or im dumb. Not calling you dumb, though
4. Do you think you represent all artists, dude? Look at all artists, dude. Put 2 and 2 togethor.
5. If I really like to wear nice clothes, then Ima go cop so nice clothes. My job is the means by which I do that. Put 2 and 2 togethor.
Wow... cussing out Canada is... LAME (thats another Takeover ref. for you 馃槈)
