So, musicFIRST in their "humorous" effort to extract pay performance fees from broadcasters is sending the following songs from iTunes to the NAB:
- Springsteen’s "Pay Me My Money Down"
- Steve Miller’s "Take The Money And Run"
- McCartney’s "Back in the U.S.S.R." (huh?)
- Sheryl Crow’s "A Change Will Do You Good"
Maybe David Rehr can respond by sending musicFIRST his own foursome:
- Godsmack’s "Greed"
- Aerosmith’s "Dream On"
- EMF’s "Unbelievable"
- Filter’s "Hey Man, Nice Shot"
Maybe there’s a special weekend here somewhere. (Please post any suggestions you have below.)
