Hey Warner Music Group, how about loosening the reigns on your catalog so that the music can be heard? More than that, so that I can go to the damn music store and purchase - yes BUY WITH CASH MONEY - some sheet music so that I may appreciate and pay homage to some of the songs that I love. Not asking for a hand out, just a hand up you greedy, simple minded, money grubbing, multi-media conglomerate, monopolizing stuffed suits. I get it - you don't want me to listen to Purple Rain on youtube. Fine! I get it you want to fill us with bull that you are doing it for the sake of ownership and protecting the artists rights. Lick my mocha fingers. Here is what I'm going to do. I will learn them without your help. I will find a way without paying you one red Lincoln. Then I will produce my own original works of art and allow the people the opportunity to share in the beauty of musical creation. Along the way I may just retain some fans and make a dollar. However, at this point money is not my motivator.
I remember the days when an album was worth purchasing. That's right, I said ALBUM. I could listen to the whole thing, appreciate and probably like almost all of the songs. What are you offering me now, one or two singles and a bunch of throw-away tracks? Why even bother with that?
I spent one solid afternoon going to music stores, looking online and talking to people so that I could find one song. Apparently WMG does not want to see me laughing in the purple rain. You've got to be kidding me. I bought the album. I bought the CD. I bought the compilation CDs. I bought the artists re-done, re-mastered tracks so that WMG doesn't get revenue. Yes, gone to the store and paid for... Now you are showing me that you dammed up the river. I guess it doesn't matter you are shooting yourself in the foot. There is no sense in trying to share with a young person the music that I love in the format they (the young ones) want to see it in. You want more control on your catalog. Fine. Keep it. I'll take what I have and be satisfied with that. I'll be glad to keep my money in my pocket. There is a limit. There is a line - you crossed it and I've had it. I'll make my own damn Purple Rain. 33 1/3 baby, 33 1/3.
