1. I admire the surviving Doors for not selling "Break On Through"... |
|
...to Cadillac. The company had to go with an ill-fitting Led Zeppelin song instead.
NGU.

Couldn't be any worse than that godawful Happy Jack Hummer ad they had on a couple years ago.

5. "...it's only teenage wasteland..." |

Even though my thing is Afro-Cuban and Puerto Rican music, I love "Baba O'Reilly".

10. Wasn't music invented to sell t-shirts at $40 a pop? |
|
Or is it the beer, at $6.50 per sixteen ouncer?

7. It's not just Rock and Roll |
|
survival plays a part, as well.
Your songs are your product....
If you can sell them...
Sell them, if you must.
That shit is not your property...
But I certainly understand your feelings.

11. Funny thing about that.. I read an interview with Townsend recently |
|
where he said he reunited the Who in the 90's because John Entwistle really needed the money. then he went and blew it all on coke and died. I agree though, sell the tunes if you need the money, especially 25 and 30 year old songs. After 25 years, please get rich off of it if you need to.

12. No idea what you're talking about, but Townsend has earned an easy paycheck. |
|
I'd rather a rock artist get a whopping sum of cash for a commercial than some idiot marketing major whose done nothing but polute the airwaves with crappy jingles his whole career.

15. if you really cared, maybe you'd learn to spell his name |
|
Its Townshend. And why shouldn't he make money off of his work?
