All I take from this is that Elton John is a sell out.
Of the highest nature ... he performed at Rush Limbaugh's wedding!
I doubt Rush Limbaugh is any worse than the CEO of Oracle...except Rush is a Rebublican and I think Oracle's CEO is a democrate. How many of Oracles jobs have been outsourced over seas and how many jobs has Rush outsourced.
The thing people should take out of this is that PJ has no credibility if they bitch and moan about greedy corporations or CEO's, just like their politics they long ago had no credibility with me about politics.
They are just a rock band nothing more, nothing less. They love money, they have a certain lifestyle to maintain, they have found a way too maintain that lifestyle with as little work as possible...we just have live with it.
well the line was already crossed with Target, but I could see that one as a thnks for allowing them to dictate terms on marketing. this on the other hand , looks like a huge money grab.

Why do folks look to 5 guys they don't even know that have never lived in the their reality to validate their view of the world?
:shock: agreed........ this is just to weird,2 people in the same day that I agree with on the train, looks like I picked a bad day to stop sniffing glue

That could be said about anybody. Parents. Politicians. Ice Cream Truck Drivers.
Some people inspire others. It's as simple as that.
Ummm, "they don't even know".... parents? I guess if you were adopted, but then I would think it was weird that you looked to parents you never knew to be your moral compass.

I have to read the whole thread when I get home but at a glance this looks like one of those "If you hate something..." issues. So far, what I see here looks depressing. May be a good time to dust off my Minutemen LPS.

I'm not sure it's about validating their views. I think it's more about how they've seemingly changed their views without any discussion.
Discussion with who? :fp: Perhaps the 10C can have a panel and annual conferences determining what PJ does?!
Not directed at the poster here...just a general statement...you don't like it...leave. End your membership and move along. Hurt the band exactly where you believe the band only concentrates now...in the wallet. Stop buying the records...stop going to concerts...stopp buying the posters...just stop.

Good point, DS, though probably easier said than done.
It would be interesting to hear the band's view about all this. This brings up a good question: To what extent is a rock and roll band beholden to it's fans? This is not as easy a question as it appears at first glance. If I changed some of my policies or way of doing business as a book dealer I would expect my customers would have some opinions about the changes. Doesn't mean I'd have to change my mind, but I certainly would listen and explain my viewpoint. It'll be interesting to see if this crops up anywhere... beside the all powerful social force known as AMT .

I'm tired of self respect
I can't afford a car
I wanna be a prefab superstar
I wanna be a tool
Don't need no soul
Wanna make big money
Playing rock and roll
I'll make my music boring
I'll play my music slow
I ain't no artist, I'm a business man
No ideas of my own
I won't offend
Or rock the boat
Just sex and drugs
And rock and roll
Drool, drool, drool, drool, drool, drool
My Payola!
Drool, drool, drool, drool, drool, drool
My Payola!
You'll pay ten bucks to see me
On a fifteen foot high stage
Fatass bouncers kick the shit
Out of kids who try to dance
If my friends say
I've lost my guts
I'll laugh and say
That's rock and roll
But there's just one problem
[Chorus]
Is my cock big enough
Is my brain small enough
For you to make me a star
Give me a toot, I'll sell you my soul
Pull my strings and I'll go far
And when I'm rich
And meet Bob Hope
We'll shoot some golf
And shoot some dope
Is my cock big enough?
Is my brain small enough?
[Repeat chorus, etc. etc.]

Can't wait for all of the "high on my morals" 10c members to be dropping their memberships because of this. It's going to be awesome. :corn:
That won't happen. And last time I checked, we're all allowed to have an opinion on here and if we don't like something, we have that right to state our opinion. That's how half of the threads on AMT are even started. Don't like it? Oh well!

Yes, but then you should be forced to note on your message - I am a bigger hypocrit than the people I am accusing of being a hypocrit.
Funniest post I've seen regarding this - one of the consistent libs (can't remember who) saying they'd give up their membership except they have a very priveleged....er... I mean low number. I'd think libs would be for no Seniority in ticket distribution. Everyone should be equal. I guess that only applies when it's someone else's money....
Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

Wasn't meant as an insult. But, now that I gave you your 2 e's at least you don't have to be so backed up anymore.
