Set the dogs on ASCAP reps if they stink up the door to your bar or restaurant. I'm a songwriter and I think ASCAP, BMI, etc., are out of their stupid money grubbing heads to think that public performance is a cd player in a bar! It's a pathetic, greedy law and is helping to contribute to the death of a completely befuddled music industry. Listen up, song publishers and record labels (and you brain dead artists as well): The days of conspicuous consumption and being filthy rich from selling records is OVER. If you want to succeed in this new century you'd better come to grips with digital downloading, homemade recordings,YouTube and DJ's in bars: WAKE UP: These venues are helping to hype you, not stealing from you. 622431@blogcritics.org Thu, 16 Aug 2007 19:02:38 EDT
