The analogy is to think of the record companies as pimps. They are!! They get
the big piece of the pie and don't really give a sh!t about the artists. When a
prostitute gets AIDS, they are through. When an artist gets "cold" it's the same
thing. " There are a million more where they came from". Their pimp doesn't give
a sh!t about them any more. Some day Metalashit is going to really get it up
their @ss from some record company and then they are going to get a taste of their
own crap.
Don't get me wrong, with the possible exception of Metalashit, I don't think that
artists are prostitutes by any means. But that also means that you are thinking
of a prostitute as someone forced to debase themselves to make money.
There are prostitutes that like what they are doing. These are usually the high
end ones. Take Heidy Flice (SP?). Do you think anyone forced her to do what she
did?? Some women (and men) get off on having sex with powerful, rich people and
getting paid for it to boot.
I'm a firm believe in what goes around comes around. You screw someone and some
day some force, call it God, Jesus, the Cosmic Avenger or what ever you want is
going to give it right back to you.
It doesn't always happen. but it happens a lot. Some times good people get
screwed and the people who did it never pay for it in this life. My wife is one
of those who believes there is something after this and that's were they get it.
Unfortunately, I don't have her faith. I wish I did.
If you knew for sure that everyone has to answer for the things they did to hurt
others in the next "plane", you wouldn't have to think about getting mad or
getting even.
Damn, I promised myself I would stay on topic and not continue these threads, but
I'm doing it again. Sorry.
