Dick Dale Interview
A short interview with The Legendary King of Surf Guitar about the record industry

" And that's the reason why the system hates Dick Dale."
Another interesting bit of information making major label contracts even more confining than they have been - -
would seem Taylor was lucky to have avoided this new trend and have control of his tour last year
" Like it or not, major record companies are expected to continue drafting their artist contracts so that labels share a piece of most -- if not all -- of the artists' rights in all types of revenue streams, not just record sales, but also concert tickets and t-shirts "

I have to admit that this development does make me nervous. I am somewhat concerned about the negative press Taylor might get because of this. However, if he can get signed with another label very soon and come out with a positive message to the press, then I will feel a little better. Plus, it might mean a better product in the end, which is what we all hope for anyway.
Not attributing because this has been part of several conversations since then - -
but remember how everyone commented on how upbeat and happy Taylor appeared in the Philippines - - and that some folks found the part of the Easy song tagged into the Maze for one show to be quite interesting
well this thread is titled Rumor so have a listen if you missed it before

Portion of the lyrics to
Easy by Lionel Richie
Ooh, that's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
Why in the world would anybody put chains on me?
I've paid my dues to make it
Everybody wants me to be
What they want me to be
I'm not happy when I try to fake it! no!
Ooh, that's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning, yeah
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
I was having a hard time concentrating on the lyrics. I got
distracted or something

That's why I posted that part
Well, I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason.
I have a gut feeling that this could be a very good thing for Taylor.
OK, so the $&8% hit the fan...
My sister heard the "rumor" on the radio tonight and called me. I guess after the DJ made the announcement he said "So I guess the Soul Patrol has disbanded". It made her mad but I told her to get used to it. It's just the beginning of the negativity.
