So there was this song I wanted to download this weekend. I was gonna use iTunes and pay 99 cents for it all legal like. But apparently it's the most popular song on the CD, so they don't offer it. Apparently they are afraid people will just buy the song instead of the CD.

Guess what assholes?! Since you won't let me download it legally, I dowloaded it the old fashioned way. :mumble:

Piracy thread! Delete it! Someone oppress the pirate!

Plus I cussed. Outrage!

A riding buddy of mine is a sound engineer here in Nashville who works with some big names, and he basically told me that I can be guilt-free about downloading, even illegally. He says that the Artists actually make most of their money from ticket sales and merchandising, and that CD sales only really help out the corporate A-holes. Of course, that trickles down to the lowly sound engineers, so its not all good he says, but dont feel bad for Toby Keith echo. He gets paid either way.

Who the hell is Toby Keith? Damn southerners.

Barry Manilow.

Barry Manilow.

More than likely it was David Hasselhoff.

Jackson Browne "The Load Out". For some reason I got the urge to learn how to play it on the piano.
