Wow.  What a bunch of Socialist Pinkos on this list! 
Always looking for a handout.  Hey, if there's a
demand for your art then you'll get paid.  Obviously,
according to laws of the market if Madonna makes 10
million times as much money from her music as you do,
that means that her music is 10 million times better
than yours.  So, stop complaining.  We don't want to
hear your rhetoric of Marx and Engels.  This is not
Russia.  If you play music that people do not enjoy
that is not my problem and I should not have to pay
for it with my taxes!
