What's stopping him from cranking out 30 more tunes or from cranking out
NEARLY the same songs w/ different arrangements...etc. and placing them on
his own CD's? They own the rights to *those* songs...not his entire
output...right? (wrong?)
Quitting seems to be the easy way out, IMO. Crank out 12 songs and slap 'em
on a disc and sell 'em...if for nothing else..to keep the fanbase
together/interest high. IMO, the passage of time between projects is a
bigger threat to an artist's career than MP3's.
