If you search YouTube for my kid's band, you'll come up with "about 3,090 hits," but only 98 hits for Nic Offer himself. Most of these are bootleg videos of concerts. They had one CD, Street Dad, that was named after me; but I see there aren't any Street Dad videos on YouTube any more, so my moment of fame is over.

I think that many musical acts have learned to live with YouTube as a fact of life, and that it has helped a lot of unknown acts to gain popularity and really hasn't hurt anybody.

And hey, I'd really like to see a video of a performance by Don Firth. On the other hand, I think that if I were Jerry and somebody posted all 24 tracks from one of my CD's, I'd complain. Not sure if I'd want to be on the bad side of a BNP activist, though.
