Not that I love The Joker because of the late Heath Ledger but the character Joker itself is interesting and I am wondering if there will be another sequel featuring Two Face in the future..

]]> Comment on Reason #8,932 Why The Record Industry Is Incredibly Stupid by J. Brown http://generalstupidity.wordpress.com/2008/02/11/reason-8932-why-the-record-industry-is-incredibly-stupid/#comment-2 J. Brown Thu, 21 Feb 2008 16:51:17 +0000 http://generalstupidity.wordpress.com/?p=4#comment-2 First off, thanks for the link to my post! It's terrific to know I'm not the only one reading my occasional musings. As for the RIAA, I've got no sympathy for them or the record industry as a whole. This is the same industry that, for decades, exploited and underpaid some of the most influential and talented artists ever to grace an album, simply because they could. Lining their own pockets while talented and successful artists from the 40s, 50s and 60s went on to file for bankruptcy protection or simply passed away without a penny to their name is disgraceful. This is evidenced by the very fact that they need to have a "music cares" outreach program. Obviously, if they had merely properly compensated artists in the first place, they probably wouldn't need such a PR promotion/outreach program. But maybe that's just me.
