Band changes From: "Keith Mears" To: Date: Sun 22 Jul 2001 17:44:52 -0500 ================================================ To expand just a bit on my last post, to me a "sell-out" is a band/artist who cashes in on ANOTHER band/artist's fame, without making a significant contribution to that art. Examples would include Milli Vanilli, Vanilla Ice, Kingdom Come (or "Clone" as I preferred), and more recently, O-Town (there are others more recently, but I don't follow the current "pop" music, so I can't name names). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Creed - 7M3 - Live" To: "Keith Mears" Cc: Sent: Sunday, July 22, 2001 2:17 PM Subject: Re: Odp: Re: Selling Out. ..
