Good Grief.
I should have known better after all this time.
OK.
One last time.
Over the years you have fawned over many many artists (No, I'm not going to mention names, we all know who)

I'm very glad that I don't feature on your Christmas card list. I was getting scared at one point, when you decided that PJD were worth something.
Well, let me tell you one thing, young lady.
The artists that you espouse to champion, are very hard working, and on the whole, very badly paid. And to a man (or girl) they get very angry at the mention of your name.
I commend your enthusiasm, but, you have to realise that these fora are not the place to post such things.
We all know about these artists, and we will like them (or not) as we see fit.
All you are doing is alienating potential fans, by this huge splurge of soapy, sweet, .......nothing.
It's not big and it's not clever.
You talk about your world.
Well, please go back to it, and let us poor musicians (who are actually making music, unlike you), inhabit our world, and stop preventing us from earning a living, because that is what you are doing.
Which part of the above paragraphs don't you understand?
