CD Prices / Jeremy's HYPOCRISY

Jeremy writes: People need to be accountable, theft is theft. If someone was stealing from you, you wouldn¹t accept it just because you didn¹t notice it right away. The record company for right or for wrong have provided a medium to counter the complaints on prices, and on choice. I understand that people felt shafted for a while and that¹s what drove them to the Napsters of the world, but now they have a legal and reasonable alternative, and they should use it. Jeremy --------------- This is hilarious, especially coming from the man who at one point ran a nice and rather elaborate Sting bootleg CD operation. They weren't exactly cheap, either. Did you make sure that Sting got his cut of your profit, Jeremy? Did his ticket prices shoot up because people thought the bootleg cost was a better investment than the actual show? Is theft not theft when you're a superfan? Or is my criticism just more WHINING?

CD prices

It's a hidden problem !! The main trouble is that we (really ??) already pay fees with our 'Internet Connection' ! For instance, I pay 45 euros (= + / - the same in US Dollars) per month for my connection in ADSL (fast connection but who will wait 5h to get one track ?)... For that amount, I can afford getting 'free' music on line ! So, the main reflexion is that if Lord Sting need money to pay his waitress at his Malibu house, he should better ask the Internet providers some cash back !

sting @ the VS show

I liked the first medley, and I hate MJB as well. I was digging the 'Jean-Paul Gaultier' looking tux/sarong-esque thing he was wearing. Super wide leg pants with a loin-cloth looking....i dunno. What the hell was that? Only he could wear it though. How many hot 50 odd year old men could pull that off...? Now, if i could just find a pic of him in a kilt and a chunky Aran sweater... andee b.

I said... >>I believe it was Sum 41 that just did a show here in Minneapolis for $1.<< Then Jeremy said... >>If we are going that route then, Sting played Central Park and Grant park and a host of other places for free.<< I guess my point here is that Sum 41 played at an indoor venue, where tickets were required for admission, yet they were only a dollar. That speaks volunms more TO ME about keeping ticket prices low than does doing a free show in a park. Gary

I skip that one on the CD, but did enjoy him singing it w/Joy Rose. You did miss an earlier medley (sorry, ADD--- can't remember what songs he did besides SYL and a couple others). It was at warp disco speed and he was dancing quite a bit. I actually enjoyed it as I think I'm a disco queen who missed her calling! Michelle in TX

Did anyone actually sit through the entire Victoria's Secret Fashion Show? I turned in about 9:35 and sat through way too many anorexic models to see Sting perform WISYN with Mary J. (By the way, am I the only one who thinks Joy Rose does a better job on this song than the person it was supposedly written for?) Just wondering if I missed another Sting performance earlier in the show? KIM
