I've been doing some research on MP3s and Open Source and
such and came across this slightly dated Salon article
covering a speech that Courtney Love gave last June.
She's got a lot to say and she spits a lot of vemon at the RIAA and the
record companies.
Nor is she a lover of corporations in general. After
being screwed over by a cola company that was sponsoring one of her shows and
forced to wear one of their T-shirts with a big logo on it, Love says,
"I ended up playing without my shirt on and ordering a
six-pack of the rival cola onstage. Also lots of unwholesome cursing and nudity
occurred. This way I knew that no matter how tempting the cash was, they'd
never do business with me again."
I think I would
have enjoyed watching that show. A big Beaujolais to Courtney.
If you
like music and are interested some of the dirty parts of the business it is
definitely worth a read.
