Well, I sure do. I am also an artist, however, so I know both sides of the issue - what it's like to get free music and what it's like to not get paid for giving away my music. I like how they put it in the movie "Anarchist's Cookbook," when a guy says something to the effect of, well, the first music man played was the beating of drums around a campfire, you didn't have to pay. If you wanted to hear the music, all you had to do was show up.
As well, if Dave Gilmour of Pink Floyd didn't get some cash in his guitar case while busking in St. Tropez, we might never have heard "The Dark Side of the Moon" or "The Wall." So, basically, I guess I believe that recorded music should so inexpensive that the cost is negligable, but live music should be priced per pound.
Its a technological 'oneness', I hope the real oneness will be just as easy to navigate but without the popups and viruses. It kinda steals people away in their search but brings people from a distance together so its counterbalanced. We need local internet communities, that'd be intresting.
I really like how you put this. Very well said.
I'm guessing you don't really notice or feel any diffrent now then you did in lets say 2000 or somethng? I have noticed that the years have gone faster but I've heard that can be down to age or something.
No, I felt much more spiritually active when I was in my college years, a few years ago. Back then I had time to develop myself. Now I'm really busy chasing dollars and trying to keep my relationships together - not just with my woman, but with my family and old friends, who seem to be slipping further and further away from me and each other every day.
Not what I would have chosen for myself, if you were to ask the sixteen-year-old Zipdot.
