Dear Rockers

Got this link from Linda Na. It's pretty funny. You get to write to your favourite rockers to apologise for downloading their music and send them some money to make up for it. My favourite which I've read so far has to be this:

Dear Bryan (Adams),

I’m not really a big fan but one day when I was a weak I downloaded Summer of ‘69. I just wanted to see if you sounded as cool to me as an adult as you did when I was a kid. Kinda sorta.

I’m including both US and Canadian $ - I know you are a Canadian boy but sometimes you just seem so American.

Heartfelt sorry,
David

Dear, Mr. (Axl) Rose,
I’m sorry, I hope you won’t invite me to “get in the ring,” but I downloaded some of your soon-to-be-finished songs from the soon-to-be-released Chinese Democracy. It made me feel good, it made me feel cheap and it made me feel guilty. So in return, I wanted to give you back the $17 (one dollar for every year you have spent polishing this gem in the studio/writing/recording/ranting). We all know that this is going to be the greatest album of all time. (Sorry, Kid Rock). Please forgive me Axl. I know it is wrong for me (even as one of your biggest “straight” fans) to listen to your music prematurely – before you are happy with each version. I know that this is the last thing you would want to happen. So in return, please use this money to fund the following to help get this masterpiece completed.

the cost of hiring a new guitarist
the cost of firing a new guitarist
the cost of remixing your vocals till it sounds like you are putting your leg in a woodchipper while strangling a cat.
applications (printing costs)
lawyers & accountants
stack of blank CDs (the re-writable kind)
Buckethead’s buckets
Hate
octagon (for solving disputes)
Calvin Klein Cologne
the rights to the word “bee-yatch”
extra recording time for “RANTS”

Best Regards,
Jeff
