I'll take your word for it...I grew up riding on dirt roads past farm
equipment on street bikes. <shrug> Not always fun true, not a problem

As with every other subject, Krusty revels in his utter ignorance.

When I -or any other musician- play someone's copyrighted material in
concert the copyright holder is paid for that usage of his (or her)
work.

Why did you think Michael Jackson bought the rights to most of the
Beatles' work? Out of the goodness of his heart?

and who to mail the check to?
