Friday Five
1. Who is your favorite singer/musician? Why?
Slim Dusty. Who else is there? :-)
2. What one singer/musician can you not stand? Why?
Pretty much anyone who claims to be a singer/musician but they can't sing / compose / play for peanuts. They have no sense of harmony, melody, lyrics or decent living. Apart from the Beetles and Elvis, has there been any decent rock and roll? :-)
3. If your favorite singer wasn't in the music business, do you think you would still like him/her as a person?
Yup. Wouldn't mind him as a neighbour.
4. Have you been to any concerts? If yes, who put on the best show?
Best concert/show would have to be Victor Borge for sheer entertainment.
5. What are your thoughts on downloading free music online vs. purchasing albums? Do you feel the RIAA is right in its pursuit to stop people from dowloading free music?
I have misplaced the reference but some dude was talking about buying the "right to listen". When you buy a tape, CD, vinyl, mp3, whatever; you are no buying the physical media but the right to listen to that bit of music as often as you like, in any format that you like. That aside, I do not download music BUT I would (and sometimes do) buy music direct from the musician which tends to make more money for the musician that they would get through a member of the RIAA.
