They we certainly don't "owe" them their "we;ll-earned" fortunes.
Especially when there are REAL artists and musicians making real
art and music who starve.  Give me a break!

Anything else that's "wrong" that you'd like to educate us all about?
Where do you get the twisted notion that an artist's obligation to
provide real creativity if he/she wants recompense (imagine that!)
leads Chapman to shoot Lennon? Pardon me for thinking...
