(TV) Beware of Sales Pitches

[secretX@webtv.net]

Tom doesn't like bootleggers, especially when they boldly and falsely
claim, among other things, that Tom approves of the bootleg!! For
example, why would Tom approve of a bootlegger releasing a recording of
tthe 1992 Academy show when he had plans all along to release it
himself? (It just took him awhile.) Why would he approve of a bootlegger
releasing a shoddy scratchy alternate version of his first solo album
when he was working on having the legitimate version re-released by a
large distributor, as it was last year by Collector's Choice? When
someone who's selling something dispenses so much cruel misinformation
(misinformation: that the polite and humble drummer Tom Thompson is a
fictitious character!!) it should be a clue that the seller is not as
close to Tom as he claims to be. In fact a few years ago when this
particular seller started making false statements, Tom immediately tried
to make his position clear in interviews. One that comes to mind was a
Cleveland online interview in which he called the bootlegger "a clown".
