A Note
I Have No Particular Love
For Independent Music
Whatsoever
My Love Goes
Exclusively
To Good Music
No Matter The Economics Behind It
On Atlantic Records, Warner Reprise, Chess Records, Columbia Records, Elektra,
Red Bird, Verve, Stax, Sun, Motown, Capitol or Whatever, so many more...
You Name It
I Don't Care
It's Fun To Know Some Stories About Labels
Other Than That
I Don't Give A Shit
If Chuck Berry Had Been On
Universal Records
He Would Mean The Same To Me
Of Course There Are People I think are Good
On "Independent Records"
But It Has Nothing To Do
With The Label They're On
I Don't Even Want To Know
Give Me Songs I Say Yes
Give Me Record Labels I Say Wrong
So Next Time You Come Up To Me
And It's The First Time we Meet
And You Have Stuff To Say
About So Called Independent Music
Just Think I'm Your Typical Listener
With No Knowledge About These Things
Just Like Most People Don't Know
What Labels Jimi Hendrix' Or Little Wings' records are on
Of Course
I Could
Talk About Labels At Some Point
But Not At First
I Find It Insulting
For The Artist
If whoever Releases Their Work
Comes First
And
I Said
No Particular Love
Not
No Love
There's A Bunch Of Artists I Admire, Respect And Love The Work Of
Who Release Their Songs
On Labels You Call Independent
It Just Doesn't Really Matter To Me
Lou Reed Or David Berman
It's all Good To Me
I Just Don't Care
I'm Glad Paul Desmond Recorded For Columbia
I'm Glad
You Know
I'm Just The Wrong Guy
You Want to Talk To
About These Things
I Know
I Have A Bunch OF Songs
Released On Independent Labels
It Doesn't Make Me
A PR For These Labels
There Probably Is
Another Club Act
Who'd Be More Into This
I'm Sure
