Look, I don't mean to be rude, and I recognize that you're young and have a good excuse, but that is one of the most clueless things I've ever seen posted here.
This thread is not "off track" and it certainly isn't "pointless." Did you not understand
why the OP presented the idea of the lottery? Does it completely escape your comprehension what that has to do with declining music sales and revenues? Can't you see that the entire
idea was to create an alternative way for a musician we admire to make money? And so a general discussion of the realities of the music business is
completely on target?
Nor is anyone "battling to the death." If you think that Lefty and I have ever behaved towards one another with the slightest degree of animosity, you're completely wrong. We don't even seriously disagree here, and although I remain convinced that the future of the music business just as in publishing is both digital and decentralized, I am inclined to bow to his superior knowledge of the realities of making music as it exists right at this moment.
You're the one who's off-track here, not the thread.
