So what's your point? David Gilmour sells out his concerts now just as he did 20 years ago.

Talent doesn't degrade! "Has-Been" simply doesn't apply.

Move along, nothing to see here but garbage writing.

and isn't now, then isn't he a hasbeen?

And isn't he lucky to have been a has in the first place?

I bet you're over 30.

;-)

that the artists also need an extra 45 years to make it worthwhile to create music... and that it's important to the artist that Apple's iTunes Store is crippled with DRM.

Anybody who has the audacity to call David Gilmour a "has-been" should have their word processor promptly confiscated and each of their fingers broken in several places!

I can't believe how much EU countries are being charged for songs and the like. $1 USD is what I would pay per song and that is it. I don't buy DRM crap, so I end up not buying anything from itunes ($1.49 USD for non-DRM songs, too much). Sad really.

I would never pay $30+ USD for a 10-15 track CD, that is highway robbery!

Rise of the indies once again I'd say.

This is the price we pay for letting on that there are indeed various Got Talents across the world! Simon wilst shorely be the derth of all! "Simon Says" and I reckon we all boot-scoot-boogie like rake Hessians! God will get'st You, Simon! And'st I'm not meaning the cowl-wearing rock star front man for the Apostles, before they petered-out. You know who you are. I don't mean to be rude on your hit parade, but you sir, are no royalties. I can't even find your song on Touch Tunes!

how darew you talk this way of David Gilmour He is one of the best guitarists of all time. And by the way he gives millions to charities. So leave him alone will you!
