26409, If ?uest doesn't give a eff about his fans, wtf is he doing HERE?

You're entitled to your opinion of ?uest's art just like everybody else, but your statements about his head is getting too big and how he doesn't care about his fans are completely unfounded. If he didn't care about us, why is he spending some of his valuable free time talking to us on this board? How many artists spend that kinda time on their fans without receiving any compensation?<P>If he doesn't care about what we think, why does he even defend himself? If our opinions didn't matter, they wouldn't be worth debating. The fact that he made the effort to respond to your ridiculous accusations proves you wrong. <P>As for his supposed obligation to you and everyone else, your reward is the MUSIC. You pay $15 at coconuts for a CD not an autograph session. You pay for a concert ticket to get a live performance not to have a nice chat with the artists afterwards. That's the deal, everything else is a bonus. You pay for the art, not the artist. You didn't buy stock in the roots, you don't own a piece of them. They owe you nothing because you already got plenty in return for your money. Artists receive our support because we appreciate and enjoy their art, end of story.
