Hello 313,
We all know who the only common enemy is in the USA. It's the UK crap
trance dj's that have bled the USA dry. And why ? Because the sheep in the
USA consume that crap.
I think Fred sums it up best here, music isn't controlled by talent or
originality it's publicity,exposure and fashion. Djs aren't booked on
their talent, it's their name. I'm afraid its the way of the world :)
I personally agree with Mani's sentiments completely and I applaud his
actions, where he fails however is in his 'mission statement'. To me
it's not EU artists to blame but rather the US promoters who pay these
artists? Which I understand from Mike's emails, Mani includes(or rather
did) himself part of. Then again an artist is only worth what a promoter
is willing to pay and a promoter is willing to pay only what he can make
back.... it's sh*t.
I'm yet to understand what people are trying to achieve with this
boycott? Do you want US DJs to be making as much money as tietso et al.?
Perhaps someone can explain the ideal goal, it is just a bit more money,
a lot more money, what exactly?
Oh and what I don't understand is why this was posted to 313 where
clearly everyone on the list "pays homage" to US music?
-Mike
