Apparently, I'm the only one that sees a problem with this. There is so much evil in the following sentence: Wal-Mart set up a huge marketing campaign for a 3 Doors Down record a year before it was ready, leaving the band 17 days to get the record done. No one involved had even heard the actual music - it had yet to be written - they were happy, respectively, to have a name and sell a name. On personal and philosophical levels, this really offends me. Seriously. I would make the argument that art should not be a commodity, but actions like this one make it easier to argue that most of today's "music" isn't art. Which also bothers me...deep down...where I'm soft...like a woman.
