Complete DISagreement.  Musicians don't OWE us anything,
original or not.  (This applies to other professions as
well.)

Variations on "they owe us ... make them" justified
Mark Chapman, but he was twisted.  Unfortunately, the
same attitude in others makes life miserable for people
whose only crime is making life a little better.  That's
a curious way of displaying appreciation.  It is also
wrong.

government, and your cat.

ps - Is Cat Stevens really in Iran?  Did he really have
incurable lung cancer, move to Brazil, and join a
fundamentalist Christian group?
