19 Jun 00 - 01:25 PM (#244510) Subject: comment on career in music From: paddymac I've received a lenghty e-mail message from a performer friend which purports to be a speech attributed to Courtney Love on several aspects of what I would phrase "artist exploitation." I don't want to post it as a thread because I have not verified its authenticity. It could be truthful, or it could be another e-mail hoax. I don't know. Whichever it is, however, it makes interesting reading. If anybody would like to receive it, send me your e-dress and I will forward it to you directly. |

However, at times the tone of the article strikes me as 'sour grapes.' If Ms. Love is indeed the author, I would be more inclined to give credence to her statements if an obscenely rich artist of your choice were to second her conclusions. |
