I mean, maybe I am a bit simplistic, but seriously, we are talking about writing and recording songs (which they obviously have) and then chose to get NO money for it all, becasue they can not get TONS of money. The logic just falls down and dies there.
So back to topic: Give us a live album allready!
Exactly my point! Presumably (and perhaps it's been mentioned in interviews) they record all of their performances, so releasing a live album would only add to their profit margin.

enjoy that part of your intrinsic "yields". Thanks.

And what, damage control technician #93, would those "structural limitations" be exactly? Oh, and how are you privy to such information?
Sorry Prescott, I'm a living being and can't but be the one I am, perceive the world the way I do and give it expression. And what information, btw? I only
contributed MY understanding of the matter. As to continuative explanations, sorry but as a matter of giving back to the world the values I've got and attached to me, I'm - consequently - neither able nor willing to send you a complete copy of that book. Chill though. As you might have noticed, I do not exclude any exceptions straight away. To human rights activists, for example, or the pretty people here and on PD, I'm always prepared to issue a few rough paragraphs.

Btw., "damage control technician #93" sounds good to me ...
... I wish I were as good as that ...
but ok, in other words: money is not enough. There are more important needs than receiving money. Where these needs are too widely neglected, people suffer - especially those who feel the need to give the world what they've got to give, what they have to express, what they feel important, for themselves as much as for everybody. And after suffering (and large miles of disregard, debasement and humiliation) - no body can suffer endlessly - there always comes the moment, where the perception just steps out of the pain. You get cold and angry and might come to the conclusion - as a last resort of self-protection and in order to keep up your autonomy - that deserving is not a one-way. So you might become no longer prepared to share what you've got. The world will have to renounce at that as these things (as much as yoursself) have "obviously" not been of any further value to "the world", anyway. As to "structural" hindrances: of course, there are people who appreciate, who might have something to give in return, who would do anything to support you, who might have what you needed and be willing to give it to you, but due to cultural and societal borders they might not even be able to communicate it to you, for example. It's really only one example on the outer borders. More understandable now? I wonder ...

Anyway, in a situation as such, one can only hope and wait and hold oneself open to development, without any guarantee. As to The Sisters ... (and from that point of view) ... I think, it's wonderful how things have developed ... and that was not without some definite effort from various people. Thanks endlessly to them, Andrew included. A record? For me, not the most important thing in the world, really.
*sorry to everybody for that large amount of forum space I've taken (again) ... you need not read my idiocies, anyway ...
