To: sinister@majordomo.net Subject: Merchandise..... Okay, I may be stepping on a few 'adult' toes here, me just a toddler in the Sinister world, and all.... But I have something to say. Granted no one ever cares what I have to say, what my opinions are and that, but here goes.... What is the big deal about the merchandise thing? First of all - he/she say is never 100% - and even if it is true - why all the mumbling? It's nice that B&S are something of a secret - that they're not as big as Spice Girls, etc.. But these things are not up to us. These things are up to the band. Why would any of us, who love their music, want to begrudge them that chance to make good money for what they do? I know that they, themselves, aren't in it for the money, but it is really none of our business. And even if they were - who wants to spend their life in a dole que? As for decisions that Jeepster make, what do you expect? It is a company - one that supports the lives of many as well as puts out the music we love and sends these people on tour. They HAVE to make money to keep us happy - with tours and CD's - and they have to keep people in clothes and food day and day out. What is so wrong with making money? More to the point, all this aside, when have you EVER known Jeepster or B&S (AS A BAND) to steer us wrong and take advantage of us. Look how cheap their releases are!!! AND the fact that they stuck to they're guns about releasing 4 song Eps that were not eligible for the charts. Why does it matter to anyone that they would make a 3 single EP? Sometimes it sounds like people are being a weeny bit selfish by asking all these questions. This email may not win me any friends here, and I am sorry. But some people felt strongly enough to complain. I think it is disrespectful to carry on about these things when Jeepster and B&S have always done right by the fans. Have a little faith. Sorry for the rant, but I thought it needed to be said.
