Actually, I'm honoured that you like my music and pleased to know you're listening to it. But if you really appreciate it, you'll care for me, and maybe eventually make a donation. I know this topic is subjective and I don't want to start another flamewar, but I wouldn't like to receive money from people just because that is the only way they can obtain my material. Obviously this approach doesn't work if you plan to buy a Ferrari with the money earned from your artistic career, since people will stop making donations when they'll see you wearing Dolce & Gabbana. But I'm not interested in such lifestyle anyway. In fact - feeling guilty of living in a society that kills innocent people on my behalf to take their gas - I've decided to sell my Punto and not to buy another car. p.s. For those who didn't get it, my previous post was meant to show one of the many contradictions that arise when you're stuck with an old mindset. c. -- www.cesaremarilungo.com
