Everett, it is frustrating. I'm very thankful that it's cut, it's not going to sing itself. However, common courtesy, manners, and the like have long been stepped over in the music industry.
If it actually improved the song I wouldn't mind the change but 5 words total in the song without so much as a heads up just seems wrong. If she wants to be a cowriter that entail participation, IMHO, not add ons or changes without letting the writers in on it.
I know of one songwriter who had a cut with Lorrie Mirgan (sp?) and she lived the lyric but not the melody. The music was changed but the writer was informed before hand. Not the he was gonna to try to argue, but it was the polite thing to do.
I guess I'm just old school and think that type of thing is important. Maybe I should adjust to the way society is today. Just feeling like the values and respect I grew up with are long, long gone.
