No Rock And Roll Fun

SAVING THE WORLD, ONE JEWEL CASE AT A TIME: Patti Smith told Sony that she wanted her new album, Trampin', released in a more environmentally friendly way. The label were happy to oblige, packaging the album in a more planet-thoughtful fashion. But then, missing the point somewhat, they made that version a limited edition, charging more for it, and produced a standard version, consuming the same pile of peak oil bringing irreplaceable resources. Nice one, Sony. See you at the meltdown.
