It comes back to the fact that Amanda doesn't owe you anything.
(this is not directed at you totalfrog)
the thing that sucks the most for me:
it does come back to that. and that is something that amanda never fails to make clear. she is amanda FUCKING palmer, she is NO ONE'S BITCH, she doesn't owe her fans ANYTHING, FUCK A LABEL, FUCK everyone else's idea of legitimate song writing, FUCK everyone who thinks that everything she does is not art, FUCK everyone who was offended by evelyn evelyn, FUCK CDs- wait, people want to pay for CDs so cancel that fuck, FUCK that recording of provanity, FUCK responsibility (she has spent enough time doing things she didn't like), FUCK everyone who wants something from her, FUCK people's expectations, FUCK everyone who expected what she led them to expect, FUCK EVERYTHING. amanda answers to NO ONE. your money is the only tangible thing you spent on her so that's all you get credit for. if you don't accept this then you are obsessive, self-entitled, and a stalker. if you have a problem with this then that's too bad because she has hundreds of thousands of twitter followers armed with hundred dollar hand-painted ukuleles waiting at a moment's notice to form a flash mob- ninja gig, whatever, waiting to purchase her next vinyl and the truth is that they take precedent because THEY ARE THE MEDIA and seriously, you don't matter, but you should be GRATEFUL to not matter because amanda works harder than ANY OTHER ARTIST OUT THERE to connect with her fans. there is no way to prove this but it's true because she likes using twitter and manages to run her business with a small group of people who are involved in the fan community and, luckily for her, are really cool people. it doesn't matter that she has less fans, amanda still appears more connected than other artists, so therefore she makes more of an effort.

it took me a long time to write all of that even though it's not much because i still cannot figure out how to say exactly what it is that i want to say but i think that conveys some of it. i think i can stand by all of what i said though (and yes it's ignorant to say things you can't defend). i don't know. but i don't disagree with this thread and i think people are getting way too hung up on the facetious use of the word 'hate' when i think there are more valid things that can be discussed, rather than rehashing over and over how strong of a word hate is. if creating a thread for attention is so fucked up then don't give it attention. right?
