I have never witnessed a commercial entertainment act voluntarily screw the pooch like they have in my almost 50 years.

They just burned a lot of cash....probably over 100 million in CDs, tour reciepts and merchandise and endorsements so they could run their mouths....at a minimum.

They are loathed here in Nashville by all but the urban hip homo meets granola crowd.

Like I said, I saw their main writer a few days ago socially.... who helped put them there in the beginning. I'm sure he is grateful for their inability to be polite and discreet.....and what it cost him from BMI or ASPAC

I remember the types way back when Sunshine Grocery was near Music Row. Can't type now...I gotta crick in my neck.

Do music recording contracts typically contain clauses for outrageous behavior that sabotages revenue?

Last week I had a business dinner at the Palm. They still have a (flattering) caricature of the D.C.s painted on the wall along with other country music stars.

It was right above my table. Didn't kill my appetite, but I was surprised it had not been defaced - yet.
