    With Kid Rock getting all this Republican attention and Limp Bizkit suddenly back in the news, are Korn and Smashmouth gonna cosponsor a save the whales initiative? Is P.O.D. gonna open a Planned Parenthood? Are the Kottonmouth Kings gonna open a soup kitchen?I’m so confused!

    Basically the entire tone of the article after they introduce their “expert” that used to be an executive at UMG is that it’s all a big mistake. I hope they don’t settle and all the dirty laundry is set to dry in public.

    @ajsadauskas @music Imagine it’s 1987. Through the graces of one’s connected attorney (getting 10? 15? percent) one has a label deal. A suit comes by and says track 8 on the new album sounds good, let’s hire a hotshot production company/director and budget 300k for the video. It gets modest rotation on MTV and 100k more albums sell. $3 per unit profit, $1 per unit royalty. Label is +300k, Band is down 200k. Video costs are recoupable and is collected before the band gets a check.
