blah blah blah



Oh, chill, Alan. I pay my ASCAP fees regularly, so I feel I can "tweak"
them whenever I want. I've even gone out of my way to pay the Performing
Rights Society in the UK for *their* rights when a song wasn't represented
in this country. And I've always written publishers for rights to songs
that aren't represented by any performing rights organisation.

So there.
