The main article says that The Rose March was unveiled in November 2006, sparking comments from Pete Townshend.

However, Billy said on July 30th in San Francisco that he had written the song that morning. Any way to confirm which is right?

(and the rest of us too, wherever ya work!)

Below is an excerpt from a NYTimes 9/07 article "The Music Man" regarding Rick Rubin on the scene. This article came to my mind in light of the conversation on these boards. Don't know if ya read it yet, but it resonates LOUDLY:

"For instance, asking Columbia artists to give the record company up to 50 percent of their touring, merchandising and online revenue.

This is unprecedented — even successful artists like the Dixie Chicks make a large percentage of their income from concerts and T-shirts.

"Artists should never give that money up," Natalie Maines told me. "The companies are all scrambling because of the Internet, and they will screw the artist to meet their bottom line. I can't imagine Rick will go along with that."

Rubin won't say — he'd rather concentrate on honing the new model for the industry. "I don't want to waste time," he said, sounding a little frustrated. "The existing people will either get smart, which is a question mark. Or new people will understand what a resource the music business is and change it without us." Rubin paused. "I don't want to watch that happen."

"Well here we are in a special place
what are you gonna do here?
Now we stand in a special place
what will you do here?
What show of soul are we gonna get from you?
It could be deliverance, or history
under these skies so blue
could be something true...

this is SACRED GROUND."

"...it was my integrity that was important. Is that so selfish? It sells for so little but it's all we have left in this place. It is the very last inch of us. But within that inch we are free. An inch. It is small and fragile and it's the only thing in the world that's worth having. We must never lose it or sell it or give it away. We must never let them take it from us. I don't know who you are but I hope you escape this place. I hope that the world turns and things get better and that one day people have roses again. I don't know who you are, but I love you. I love you."
