I suppose in some genres of music you expect the sell out by artists. Rock-n-roll was supposed to be a purist rebel kind of thing. Back in the 70's and 80's letting a car company use your song for a commercial would get you blacklisted by fans.
Today it's ok to be selling cars and pizza. Artists like Jessica Simpson could be forgiven, though not by me, for doing this. After all she's a pop star. But should we forgive The Rolling Stones?
As a starving artist I'd be stupid not to look at the deal, but don't they have enough money already? Why not just put out another album? Why not go on tour without the corporate sponsorship? I think we music lovers and music listeners need to go back to the day of hammering these big name music acts for using what they've got to take more money from the fans.
Another idea would be for the listener to stop buying and supporting these artists. Let's use this great technology we now have to find and support independent artists. Let's hear some real music and not just another song about poppin' pizza bites into our mouths.
