interesting points of view folks, thanks for all your comments...i haven't changed my mind yet...i still think it's a bad economy to try and push through another slice for anyone, and we're talking about the touring artists here getting more if they didn't write the song, not the writers getting less...digital has in all practicality cut the size of each sale way down...instead of a $15 cd we now sell a .99 cent download...the session players chose their vocation- they are in that market because they wanna be...big radio is so political now i have a strong hunch this has all been handled by lobbyists and the outcome is a moot point, i don't believe any bailout bucks are going to come the way of the entertainment industry, the public in general is sick up to the ears about hearing about bailouts, the Obama administration doesn't have many more bailout accounts to pull from, if they keep going to the well it will adversely effect public opinion and they will only let that dip down so far...tough spot in alot of ways, any industry who survives by a large portion of their revenue coming from ad $$ is hurting in a big way...i would be curious as to who was in the room when this whole snowball was dreamed up? and who appointed Bono posterboy  be well...moker

"Defeatist Pessimists and Rose Colored Glasses Optimists are lonely companions, victims even. Both ideologies imply predestined outcomes, and therefore breed inactivity in its victims. Inaction is the only sure way to lose at anything in life. All positive action guarantees at least a fighting chance." -Brian Austin Whitney
