You know, I'm sort of following this thread half-interestedly, and then
I see this. Now, I'm sure Roberta is a nice enough human being, but if
you want to know what's wrong with the label mindset, AT THE CORE, you
need look no further than at the fact that this question was even asked.
There's an almost mind-numbing, sheep-dog obsession with keeping us in
line. "WE would prefer that you play this product you have purchased in
a certain way." It's like somebody at the GAP pulling me aside to ask
about a shirt I bought there, and suggesting that I really should think
about wearing it with a different pair of pants.
If this question even OCCURS to you, you have an issue that stands
between you and the kind of strong relationships you need with your
customers and your market if you're going to succeed.

...it's a lonesome thing to be passing small towns with the
lights shining sideways when the night is down, or going in
strange places with a dog nosing before you and a dog nosing
behind, or drawn to the cities where you'd hear a voice
kissing and talking deep love in every shadow of the ditch,
and you passing on with an empty, hungry stomach failing
from your heart.
