Quote from cstfx:
Yes, these artists hate, absolutely hate it, when these old white men go out and purchase the "new, improved" digital version of 20 - 30 yr old music at prices in excess of $100 for a box set with "new" art. Forcing some of these "leftist" artists to take their residuals/profits from album sales by the only group of people who pay suggested retail price don't actually download the stuff illegally just makes them want to puke, but for the sake of their art, they will take Joe Red State's money, because they are paving the way for a younger generation of artists to make it in this world.
*Coming Q2 '09, newly remastered digitized version of concert movie "Song Remains The Same" with improved graphics and Dolby 5.1 sound in Blue Ray digital format. Any of you who purchased the now obsolete DVD version (which replaced the older Laser Disc version, which itself replaced the archaic VHS tape) can now plan to upgrade (again) to the new, better edition. I can hear Page, Plant and Jones bitching about it now.
I think Eddie Murphy summed it up best about hypocritical artists and their target audience from an old SNL skit:

Did you think you were bribing the artist you bought the music of?
Typical conservativethink. Did you get something in exchange? I thought so, so it wasn't a charitable contribution was it. No you can buy their stuff all you want they just don't want to know you.
It just a matter of their not sharing your principles.
