Fair comment Sade - maybe I'm just being idealistic & thinking
KJ followed their own rules :)

   A friend told me how "some band called The Who(?)" videotaped
their shows(pl.) live on (the last) tour and sold copies of each
show in the lobby afterwards. Now THAT sounds like an idea that
gives the fans what they really want, puts cash in the artist's
-or Jaz Summers'- pockets, and trumps the bootleggahs. Seems
like what Pearl Jam(godbless'em) did but only with cd.

Well you stole it 'cause I needed the cash
and you killed it 'cause I wanted revenge...

And the angels eat their grapes
I watched picasso
visit the planet of the apes
