Hello Nikki,

In theory, you're absolutely right -- music *should* be about sharing your vision and passion with people and finding a common thread to unite people of various opinions and walks of life together. However, I'd relate it to upper level management in a company. They work hard while they're at the bottom, wanting to change the world when they reach a position of power or influence. When they finally claw themselves up to a position of power or authority, they forget why they started the climb in the first place and the vicious cycle continues. It becomes about the money.

Sort of a change of subject -- where does Creed stand on the idea of people downloading their songs on MP3? I wasn't here for that conversation.

Thanks!
Jon

I'm not saying that Metallica's music isn't good anymore, that hasn't changed. I just don't like their attitudes about the whole thing. Music isn't about the money, its about getting it out to everybody. If I was an artist, it would make me happy that my music was out there for people to download, it will bring new fans that will go out and buy the music...like I said before I am a downloading fool, but I go for the unreleased, hard to find stuff, imports, acoustics, etc. And I love cd's way too much, I will always buy them.
