"There are now two* illegal CDs of my music
being sold publicly, blatantly. I'm like
you, dear reader - always looking for the
best in people, slow to believe the worst -
but the crooks who do this threaten to
impede my spiritual progress. They undermine
my childlike, trusting nature. One CD is
titled "Defying Gravity", peddled by a
company called AIM. They add to the insult
by
misspelling
my name on the cover. The
other CD, released just recently on the
Acrobat label, is titled "Live" (not to be
confused with "Live from Mountain Stage" on
the Blue Plate label, which is legitimate
and, of course, sublime). Both CDs are of
very poor quality, so you'll be missing
nothing if you refuse to reward thievery by
buying them. I told the people selling these
things - Amazon, Barnes and Noble and others
- that I'm disappointed in them, that
they're hastening the end of civilization,
opening the
gates to the Visigoths, but they
were "like the deaf adder that
stoppeth her ear." Perhaps one day
AIM and Acrobat and Amazon, and
others who would steal from a
childlike, trusting songwriter, will
see the mills of the gods in action
- how they "grind slow, but they
grind exceeding small." Something to
look forward to." |
