...TIME.comix: I'd like to ask about your evolution as an artist. In "The Spirit" days, though the work was radical for its time, you were using the conventional mechanics of comics: clearly defined panels, polished, inked drawings and full color. In the latter part of your career, including "Fagin the Jew," you have moved away from panel borders and into a sketchier drawing technique with just a brown wash for color. What's behind your change in style...
...into the nascent West Coast rock scene. The Hollywood outlet soon gained a reputation as a place where the stars shopped--some of its earliest customers included members of Led Zeppelin and the Beach Boys. Since then, the chain has kept its focus on professional musicians by maintaining an artist-relations staff to provide personal service to Willie Nelson, Run-D.M.C. and Limp Bizkit, among others--loaning them equipment and stocking the rare and vintage instruments they favor. The store's reputation as a hangout for pros creates a "cool factor" that is seductive to musical neophytes and serious...
...Fighting online file-swapping would be laughable if they weren't doing it so brutally: targeting kids and college students (who can't afford to challenge the ridiculous lawsuits). File-sharing is not the artist's enemy. Eminem had the most-downloaded album last year. It was also the highest-selling album of the year. Overpriced CDs and a cruel, pointless campaign to alienate fans are the artists' enemy. The RIAA must embrace file-sharing or die (I vote die). Brian Dollerhide Wasilla, Alaska...
...retail outlet in Ireland, a standard album release costs anywhere from 18-25 euros ($20-28 approx.). The same CD can be purchased at an online store for 14 euros ($15 approx.). So where does the extra 28-60% difference in price go? To the artist? Not! The large record company does not care about the artist; their primary concern is to their shareholder. I use file sharing for rarities, for songs released as singles, B-sides, etc. and occasionaly for albums. But I will still purchase an original work if the price is right and the artist is worth...
Amanda Williams, 28, an artist and gallery owner from Oakland, Calif., says the 1997 marriage of her childhood friend O'Darie Weathers actually strengthened their friendship. When Weathers announced his engagement, Williams made a point of telling him that although she would always be his best buddy, his wife would now be the "main lady" in his life. "I wasn't telling him something he didn't already know," says Williams, "but I just wanted to be clear." Expecting their friendship to trail off somewhat following the wedding (in which she served as best woman), Williams was surprised by Weathers...
