Dear dirty,
I guess Ringo Starr is a poor example for our
discussion. The Lennon analogy is a good one and
makes me understand and appreciate your point. I
stand for certain things that I would never waver
on, and I don't hesitate to impose my opinion on
others because I know I'm right, but that's another
conversation. I really don't see a problem cashing
in on a little noteriety, but ideals are indeed
sacred. Thank you, dirty tee, for elaborating.
I agree with your opinion.
Respectfully yours,
Piercin'
: Dear Peirce'n,
: maybe in Ringo's case it's not so bad,
: but he never really had anything to say in the
: first place.
: Do you think John Lennon would ever
: do anything like this? I don't.
: Sometimes people are weak. They succomb to
: greed. Like,say...George Carlin. Personally,
: I will never look at him in the same way. He is no
: longer challenging the status-quo.He is part of it.
: I believe it is impossible to be a sincere social
: critic, and make a few bucks selling
: contradictory bullshit, at the same time.
: Your noteriety, everything you've said and
: stood for, shouldn't be so readily cashed in.
: People stand for things. In my opinion.

: : Is it even a "sell out" at all? Come to think of it,
: : What the fuck is a "sell out"? Personally, I would
