>thats advertisment and $$$ in ur pocket
in a way, yes.
>thats still making money off of your music
no it's not. It's making money off his shirts. That's a totally separate product. It's RELATED product, yes. But he sold a shirt, not an album.
>they bought the shirt to support you as an artist
>and no other reason
nope. that COULD be the reason. But it could be they just like the shirt. I'm gonna try to tie in his Nike reference:
Do you buy Jordans because you love Nike? No. You bought them because you love the look of that shoe. Same with his band shirts. Sure, you might like his band, but at the end of it all, you bought that shirt because you liked that SHIRT. I used to buy concert T's all the time. It had nothing to do with the recorded product. It was just a symbol that I was a fan of the band.
