Is anyone else bothered by this?

[Hartbreakkid]

Thanks for the feedback, not so sure why this bothered me so much. I think the song Silver Springs made a lot of us Stevie fans in the first place and we hold a special place for it. To have it associated with bigotry in anyway just doesn't sit well with me, and then to see this man's name on Stevie's web site makes my stomach turn!

I appreciate the critism, exp Lukes. I agree supporting a charity is cool, but I can't bring myself to donate to this. I just donated $25 to the North Shore Animal League instead. Under organization I put "White Winged Dove Inc" lol.

Have a great Thanksgiving!

You mean besides the Bekka and Billy album and the Bekka solo album?

Sadly she's under-rated - used as a backing singer or on a duet when a powerful female voice is needed.

Oh well...

Really? I always thought that the artist had to give permission first.

Oh well as long as those poor kids benefit.

Well in this case Barbara Nicks owns the song so she normally would get the royalties if they don't all go to the charity.

You don't have to give permission. If it's used in a different art form, then you do, but if you're just recording the song, just pay BMI or Ascap and sing what you want.

Which is why there are some awful covers of songs out there!

Actually Bruce Springsteen did say that if anyone covered one of his songs on American Idol (etc) he would sue them. One of the contestants on our Australian Idol did a Springsteen song, so we shall wait and see if they get sued (would imagine that Bruce couldn't do anything about it).

That was over a year ago...it was stupid, and he paid the price. I agree with Luke, get over it. It's Imas' charity, and the money goes to terminally ill children who need it, so unless it's satan himself running the charity, i don't see why you have such a problem with it.
