Hello:  Well, while these guys are wreaking havoc across the globe with their 
idiocy, I wonder just how many are beginning to move away from media crap.

I find myself having tuned the 'ol radio station to something that's 
tolerable, spending more time listening to classical stations, and ignoring 
anything being hyped out there.  For special pleasure, a trip to the local 
jazz club, maybe, or concert.  Life without the hystrionics of shit-throwers 
like the RIAA, and music and entertainment industry.  Bet there just might be 
enough of us to discourage the artists trying to make a living.  Too bad.  I 
feel sorry for them.  The publisher side can either GET WITH IT, or GET OUT, 
as far as I'm concerned.

Maybe opportunity is knocking at the door for a big run on music appreciation 
classes in our schools.  Give the kids alternatives, as the cost is 
prohibitive in all ways.  Just a thought,   tom
