TERRY MELCHER CAME TO ME! I DIDN’T REJECT TERRY MELCHER! HE COME TO ME WITH MONEY IN HIS HAND. HE OFFERED ME; I DIDN’T ASK HIM. I WASN’T KNOCKING SOMEONE’S DOOR DOWN. I WAS RUNNING FROM THAT. WHEN I GOT OUT, I WAS IN THAT. I WAS ALREADY THROUGH THAT. I HAD THAT. I HAD THE STUDIO. I WENT TO THE STUDIO, WENT TO VOX STUDIOS. I HAD IT ALL. AND I LOOKED AT IT AND SAID, “THIS IS A BIGGER JAIL THAN I JUST GOT OUT OF.”
I DON’T WANT TO TAKE MY TIME GOING TO WORK. I GOT A MOTORCYCLE AND A SLEEPING BAG. AND TEN OR FIFTEEN GIRLS. WHAT THE HELL DO I WANT AND GO OFF AND GO TO WORK FOR? WORK FOR WHAT, MONEY? I GOT ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD. I’M THE KING, MAN! I RUN THE UNDERWORLD, GUY! I DECIDE WHO DOES WHAT AND WHERE THEY DO IT AT! WHAT AM I GONNA RUN AROUND AND ACT LIKE I’M SOME TEENYBOPPER SOMEWHERE? FOR SOMEBODY ELSE’S MONEY? I MAKE THE MONEY, MAN. I ROLL THE NICKELS. THE GAME’S MINE. I DEAL THE CARDS.
NOBODY. I’M NOBODY. I’M A TRAMP, A BUM, A HOBO. I’M A BOXCAR AND A JUG OF WINE. AND A STRAIGHT RAZOR IF YOU GET TOO CLOSE TO ME.
“People [who work in used record stores] often display behavior, interests, and activities that are restricted and repetitive and are sometimes abnormally intense or focused. They may stick to inflexible routines, move in stereotyped and repetitive ways, or preoccupy themselves with parts of objects, [such as stereo equipment].
Pursuit of specific and narrow areas of interest is one of the most striking features of [used record store employees]. Individuals [who work in used record stores] may collect volumes of detailed information on a relatively narrow topic such as [David Bowie bootlegs] or [Command Records], without necessarily having genuine understanding of the broader topic. For example, [a used record store employee] might memorize [reel-to-reel tape recorder models used on individual recorddings] while caring little about [sound engineering]. This behavior is usually apparent by grade school, typically age 5 or 6 in the United States. Although these special interests may change from time to time, they typically become more unusual and narrowly focused, and often dominate social interaction so much that the entire family may become immersed. Because topics such as [rock music] often capture the interest of [teenagers], this symptom may go unrecognized.
Stereotyped and repetitive [listening] behaviors are a core part of the [hiring process of used record stores]. They include [quizzes about music taste], and [exchanges of obscure references]. These are typically repeated in longer bursts and look more voluntary or ritualistic than [actual conversations], which are usually faster, less rhythmical and less often symmetrical.” (More…)

So fucking dumb. It has been shown that when one hears music for free they are MORE apt to buy the product, not LESS. The movie industry has EXPLODED in this, the age of pirated videos and CD’s. Yet more people are going to the movies than ever. GET A FUCKING CLUE. FUCK THE OBSOLETE/RETARDED COPYRIGHT BULLSH*T

WMG. Give us an alternative bitches. Let me get this straight, I own all the records, so I’ve gotta go get my copy of Bona Drag and sync it to the video?
Like Pink Floyd and the Wizard of Oz? Fuck You.
No wonder Moz left your shithole label. Have fun going bankrupt you fucking Losers.

And no, don’t take the video down. Leave it up with no sound as a testament to how pigheaded and stupid Warner Music is. Again, no wonder he left you. You goddamned stupid Luddite pricks. Maybe if you had half a fucking brain you could keep decent talent on your roster and figure out a way to make money in a changing business environment. You stupid bloated reactionary hacks.
