Matthew Herbert is trying to do more than just entertain you, Joe - he's no organ grinder - he takes his music very very seriously and is attempting to bind his politics with his music - so it is redundant of you to complain that you're paying him to play you music - the politics is inseparable from the music.

Im paying to listen to your music, not to give you a venue to push your beliefs on me in hope of winning me over. I know, this thread is useless, but it would be great conversation were we all playing records and drinking some beer :) -Joe ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas D.

But for >me, keeping my money out of coporate coffers (and encouraging others to >do so as well) is a more powerful catalyst for change. well lets just say for the sake of argument that each show he does as radioboy (which requires him to spend money on those products which he is against) makes 5 people decide to cease spending their money there for the rest of their lives. and they go through their life telling people why theyre not into spending money there. its a bit of a trickle down effect, but even at 5 converts per show, the effect would be much greater than just him giving up spending money at those corporations. tom ________________________________________________________________ andythepooh.com ##################################################################################### Note: Any views or opinions are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Channel Four Television Corporation unless specifically stated.
