Hi all

I always felt 'selling out' a difficult one, Aswad, Scritti Politti 
immediately spring to mind, yes I really respect passion and commitment 
to a cause, but if the money is on the table how many of us will refuse 
it? (But at that point I'm unlikely to buy the 'product'.)

Guess that's my line; when commitment becomes product.  Maybe that's why 
I still like the Fall, "always the same, always different"

[Maybe embitterd 'cause i never yet had the chance to find out where /my 
/line is!!]
