thanks basilisk , i dont see what is the problem to ask donations if afterall we all WORK. tplus i want artists to ge what they deserve , afterall they are all working for u people , so that u can ENJOY their music.
now read:
"Think of it this way -- an artist is not only a creative entity, but also a mundane living human being who must eat, breathe, and sleep. The artist may be a lot more interested in just painting/writing/whatever, but if he neglects eating, breathing and sleeping, he won't be around long. These neglected needs will hamper and eventually cut short one's ability to make art. Thus the artist who recognizes his/her dual nature, and takes care of those basic non-art needs, will be able to devote his/her energies to creating art more freely and with greater longevity, unhampered in the mean time by pesky things like starvation, arrest, sickness or insanity. The same thing goes for a running record label as far as acknowledging the presence of other necessities..."
peace-.
