again, i simply made a joke about stipe's singing style. you made a retort "joke" about my character.

i agree, you used to have fun here.

and GFY is a cesspool of retardation, thanks for your contribution to that.

You need to relax man. Start talking about health and fitness again. You were a much cooler person back then. Now you just come across as an angry mental case.

don't be obtuse. you have no fucking idea what you are yapping about. stay the fuck out of shit you don't know the fucking history of and i certainly don't need posting advice about posting in a fucking retard cesspool.

but i'll take notice that you think it's OK for madalton to make a joke snidely denigrating my character because hey, you think i post angry.

jtfc.

and BTW, you're the fucker that hit me up for nutrition advice, which i gave in full, including a fucking personalized meal plan and i never even got a fucking acknowledgement from you for my doing that.

and you think you are in a position to give me advice on being cool.


gofuckyourself.

right.

just look at all the anger mental case in my OP in this thread:

somebody call the fucking ampalance and get a straight jacket.

I am certain they have to buy a licence to use music at events.

Copyright Licensing for Mobile DJs

Some DJs have been confused in the past about carrying membership in performing arts organizations like ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC because the rules differ depending on the performance type. The way their licensing is structured, it is actually the responsibility of the venue (bar, nightclub, etc.) to maintain membership and pay royalties. DJs playing for the public (so not for private events like weddings) then provide a list to the venue of the music that was played ? that?s it. If a DJ plays for the public outside of a licensed establishment, then they are responsible for paying the royalties. This type of copyright licensing has absolutely nothing to do with weddings and private events. Just to be sure, I went straight to the source and asked these organizations directly. Here?s what they said:

?ASCAP does not license DJs. It is the venue, establishment, or promoter of an event that is responsible for public performance licensing, not the performer. Private events such as weddings, etc. are exempt from licensing.?
? Bryn Caryl, ASCAP

?BMI licenses the ?public performance? of music? events such as private parties and weddings are not required to have a license.?
? Jaqui Garlan, BMI

?Royalty fees are not collected for private performances.?
? David Derryberry, SESAC

I meant to say "dumb jerk", but yes I meant Kim Davis the democrat.

I was LOL'ing at the republicans like Huckabe and Cruz trying to turn it into a photo op.

Dynamo is a special boy.

Trump's the kind of guy who would use a song without permission just for the free publicity.

Doesn't hurt REM either. I'm sure they've got a new project in the works that won't hurt from this exposure.

50 trolls

Go fuck yourselves, the lot of you ? you sad, attention-grabbing, power-hungry little men," R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe said

The band has been broken up since 2011. They have done some solo projects and appeared on each other's solo projects, but say they have no plans of getting back together.

They are, and always have been, pretty politically active people so I have a feeling this has more to do with them not wanting to be associated with Trump than them looking for publicity of any kind.

DM, anyone ever met you face to face or you just another brassmonkey here?

Whether they want it or not, they will certainly benefit from it. I would imagine a few people bought a few of their songs on iTunes today who probably wouldn't have otherwise. :winkwink:

I know, I just wanted to hear you say it, lol.

Gofuckyourself.

Thats what I though dipshit. :1orglaugh

Likely true. I guess I was just saying that I doubt they responded to Trump in a public way seeing publicity, but you are right, I'm sure there are some people who will go out and buy some of their music as a result.

My simplistic reply to you was on account of you being too fucking stupid to figure out i don't owe you a fucking copy of my resume for my replying to an insult from somebody else.

My simplistic reply to you shitstain was that you are a no-name shitstain. Posting shit all day long. What part of adult biz you in shitstain? No need to answer. :1orglaugh
Everytime I see some guy with green color and nothing to back it up with, I think its another fucking surfer or low life meth head pimp trying to fit in.

I think I CLEARLY said that BMI collects that. Fuck you are just trolling and acting stupid.

Pretty sure he always did. Chrissy Hynde of The Pretenders still doesn't want him to use the song. But there's nothing she can do about it.

They (Michael Stipe) have a pretty cool non-profit film company C-100 Film Corp. Does PSAs, docs and maybe features now. I worked on a couple with the other founder, Director, Jim McKay.

In 1997, the EMI publishing company issued a cease and desist request to Rush Limbaugh, who for years had been using an edited instrumental version of Hynde's song "My City Was Gone" for the broadcast's opening theme. When the request came to Hynde's attention during a radio interview, she said her parents loved and listened to Rush and she did not mind its use. They agreed to a usage payment which she donates to PETA

Good find. :)

All I knew was hearing about it back then that he was being told he couldn't use the song. And then I found out that he still does. So I figured he came to some kind of agreement with whomever owned the rights.

Interesting. I had heard that Stipe especially was getting into film and video production I never knew if it was ever more than just a passing interest though. Sounds like they might be doing some cool stuff.

Can you find what her own publishing company is? I can't.
I know she goes through EMI but I can't believe she never set up publishing on her own.

I know you put out music, Robbie. Make sure you sign up with Harry Fox. They are the best royalties trackers I have found to date.

Yeah, I wish they would put more into indie films.

Unrelated but did you see "October Gales" with Patricia Clarkson and Tim Roth? Shot in Northern Ontario. Amazing landscapes and great film.

The last thing I worked on with Jim was to translate a song in Arabic about a Romeo & Juliet scenario. It was canned cause the ending of the film using it was canned. Great movie. I think it was called Everyday People, for HBO.

He has no links to any sites in his sig, and there are no pictures of him at any shows, and his only contact info is to contact him via GFY. I think he only lives and exists on GFY.

hi **********, thank you for your interest in me. you are free to think whatever you dream up.

that reminds me, i do need to clean the pool.

it's funny though. how you spend time making shit up about me, drag up some random image, all to make a post at gfy about my posting on gfy.

you do need a bit of common sense to realize that though, so i'm not expecting you to get it.

The funniest is when politicians use songs that skewer US politics like "Born in the USA" because the chorus sounds so pro-US without realizing or contemplating the content of the lyrics.

If you beat it with a stick does candy fall out its ass?

I was trying to determine who the bigger idiot is; REM's lead singer or crockett. I think we all know the answer to that one.

Oh look it's the guy who dresses up for Halloween everyday..

Yet another one that whines about piracy but ignores the JesusTrump stealing..

Oh boy, the orange clown lovers are offended again.

I haven't seen it, but just looked it up on IMDB and it sounds pretty cool. I'll have to check it out.
