I was expecting this article to be kinda dumb mainly cause it's written by Courtney Love, but it's actually pretty well written.
... gives a good description of what it's like when a band gets signed to a major label and what happens to the money.

That was a very interesting article. Thanks for the link....
I have a little respect for Courtney now.

That's a pretty cool link. I always suspected Courtney is smarter than she lets on.

That said, I am now utterly terrified of any success I may have as a musician. If anyone's gonna get screwed over by some confusing little contract clause, it's me.

Good thing I suck. :)

I highly doubt Courtney wrote this. Someone probably ghosted it with her permission and payment.
I want the bomb
I want the P-funk!

My band is better than yours...

Wow, that was long. It was a very interesting read though. Except that now I hate everything. Again.
You go outside and practice screaming. We'll play music while you're gone.
