Jim, it was absolutely required that you print the lyrics to that song - would have been pretty disappointed had you let me down. 3859@blogcritics.org Mon, 24 Feb 2003 18:18:27 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/02/24/171655.php#comment-3858 Well, at least EMI is a pure music company. Two years ago poor Eddy Bronfman wailed that his Universal Music (bought by dumping 22% of E.I. Dupont (!)) wasn't big enough to compete. 'Bye 'bye 7 billion dollars to his family after he gave it all away to the lovely and talented Vivendi. We all know about the lovely and talented AOL Time Warner model. Couldn't happen to nicer guys. Sony's divisions have each other tied-up in litigation (against each other!). All the music companies are suing BMG for buying Napster. They all deserve their headaches for lack of conviction and original thought. So, go EMI ... why not? They can't afford it, but at least it's an understandable gamble. It would be nice to have music people (to some extent) doing well in the music business. 3858@blogcritics.org Mon, 24 Feb 2003 17:50:14 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/02/24/171655.php#comment-3857 There's unlimited supply And there is no reason why I tell you it was all a frame They only did it 'cos of fame Who?
