I apreciate the thread drift... but as this is a music site, and I seldom hark to the calls to not post non-music threads... I oftne talk about current events etc... BUT this was, after all, about how unsigned bands are in fact, real folk, that the process of signing bands often involves a form of censorship in the US, where sex and violence is sought after by record companies, but people's politics are not... as to the date, perhaps that can be another thread????????????
