It's not like she's quitting the band and she doesn't want to. She's using them. She's more commercially viable with the band too, you know.
yes and that's why she's not cutting them off, and keeps bsing that FM will always come first for her and that she will never break up that band.

while i agree with you that what she's doing is not moral or ethical, they are all in business together (even if it is personal too, for at least some of them). and she's shrewd at it, and yes she's using them but even W said "fool me once......."

if they allow her to fool them and use them over and over again, then yes, i have a problem with them, i don't really care about her.


what you said reminds me of the story i've heard on the radio today - how some rising rock star's roommate was stealing from this guy's bank account (which he allowed him to use, since they were roommates, and he was helping him out). the dj on the radio commented how the rising rock star "is a moron" and i thought what? can't anybody be nice and trust friends these days? the roommate stealing should be judged, he was the one committing the crime, not the one who was being nice and helping him out.
