ARGUMENTATIVE DISCOURSE

[kateknight@aol.com (KateKnight)]

                           I am happy to see so much discussion on the
vital topic of artists and their art. Especially when our beloved goddess
is the subject!
     While politicos of all stripes (mainly one) are rapidly pillaging and
plundering the coffers that once fed our vibrant artistic freedoms, there
are some talents who find a way to continue creating their work. I applaud
The Lady on her efforts, as always, but may I raise a ticklish point (when
do I NOT?):

                              Since Fruitopia is the first endorsement she
has made
                              in more than fifteen years, what caused her
to do it?

     I hope it wasn't the money, which must have been considerable. And
come on, hounds, the drink itself is nothing special, especially coming
from the world-savaging Coca Cola company. Pardon me for being politically
incorrect (ee-gads), but what would drive The Lady into the clutches of
such a corporate fiend??? Perhaps we'll never know ....

     By the by, for all those who have mentioned the "budget factor" in
the production of TLTCTC, please fill me in. I have read NOTHING about the
making of this music video. Where do you get your info?? You'd think that
any entity - corporate or otherwise - would drop everything to work with
Kate. What gives? You make it sound like she had to break open her cookie
jar!!  :-)
