I won’t say it would make you stop writing as an artist but to not get paid is ridiculous. Vincent van Gogh hardly ever got paid while he was alive. I guess there’s going to be a lot of Vincent van Gogh’s out there if this nonpayment continues.

Go on strike? Stop writing songs? Write them and never let them be played or recorded or heard or put anywhere that they might be heard?

Wow. Talk about a rigged system. It makes the scandals of the 80’s look like puppy play. And it’s legal. Stunning. Thank you for your dedication Tony.

So, yes, if not now, when and if not us, who?

Only by combining forces can we music creators get a fair deal, and get paid again like in the “good ol’ days!”
