Sinister: all you need is fame

[Eric D Brasure]

mr. wizard sez:< Selling out is
not something you do by becoming popular, or famous, or rich. Selling out
is what happens when you start making music which you don't particularly
like just because it will make you popular, famous and rich.>

true enough. but, after hearing "legal man" for the first time yesterday
night, I have to admit that it sounds suspicious. I don't entertain the
notion that b&s made the song with the explicit intent of getting on the
charts, but it sure sounds like it. the beatles got away with this sort of
thing 'cause, well, they were the beatles. I just don't know... and it's
certaintly not fair to play this game until we've all heard the
album. (and for those of you who haven't heard "legal man" yet, one
comment: music to gyrate to).

in other news, my semester is almost over and I will be returing home for
the summer to slave away at a scary corporation. oh, someone give me a
list crush. I feel neglected. 

bye,
eric
