    oh GAWD, I just quit a band because I didn’t feel like I fit in (all the same age group); I couldn’t get the 3 other male members to listen to me, despite my talent. I can say that none of them wanted to mack on me, which is a definite plus…ai yi yi, don’t get me started on those types! And fwiw – GO YOKO ONO!!!!!

    John Fogerty was sued by his record label in the 1980s for allegedly plagiarizing one of his own songs from 1970. It went to the SCOTUS, and it took some time – but he won, without having to prove that Fantasy Records’ suit was frivolous. But *that’s* for John Fogerty, don’cha know!

    The economic hardship, recession, unemployment and the loss of job caused by covid pandemic is enough to push people into financial ventures. Summer is almost here again with lots of activities to be enjoyed. Well, I’m taking a trip into investing because I lost so much during this pandemic. Multi creation of wealth is the best strategy to ensure financial sustainability.

    Its the one thing i hate about music. When i find out a big song i like isnt written by the artists im over it. Country is the worst for this. Pass the song to the next person. So often you hear one artist was supposed to play something but it went to another. Its pretty bad when artists cant even write their own stuff

    Alanis Morissette is another who was used and abused as a very young artist.

    I honestly don’t understand this argument.
    So if 35,000 men and 1,000 women go for music engineering (which isn’t too far off from reality) it’s only fair that women represent 50% of the talented few that make the cut?
