Greg, My B.S. meter goes off the chart every time somebody tells me they're looking out for my interest and here's how I should think about a particular issue. And I really go on alert when Congress is considering a bill that someone says is or isn't in my best interest. What they usually means is that it's in or not in THEIR best interest. We've got a governor here in Michigan who just passed an anti-union law that he says isn't any anti-union law at all.

So I don't follow Pied Pipers. I think for myself.

Jody has his own agenda that has nothing to do with me. And that's fine. But I'm not climbing on his bandwagon or fighting his battles or asking him to fight mine.

Incidentally, you claim stopping the Internet Radio Fairness Act is a victory for "all songwriters, musicians and artists." That's not my take on it. In fact, as I understand it, the proposed Act would have no effect whatsoever on songwriter royalties. Please correct me if I got that wrong.

Right now I view the squabble between Internet music providers, radio stations and digital stations like a protection racket arguing over their split of the loot. I'd be surprised if musicians and performers aren't coming out on the short end of the stick. They always have.

I'm sure plenty will disagree with me. And that's fine by me too.

Write from your heart, not what you think others want to hear.
