Cool Beans. That's cool. Paying your own way.

Self-reliance seems non-controversial, and unquestionably honorable.

I agree with Joe Offer that there are legit crowd-funding stuff. Vietnamese orphanages and what not. And it CAN be done gracefully by musicians offering the donors something along the way.

But I still feel a bit queasy about the whole "Please donate to help me make a CD of my really cool music" thing.

It seems to me entitled.

Again, I would like to not think this.

(Joe, yes, that's me :-)
