1. Who is your favorite singer/musician? Why?

That's a hard one. I don't have a favourite at the moment, not in the way I used to have favourites when I was younger. NKOTB! ;)

2. What one singer/musician can you not stand? Why?

Same thing. I don't have anyone I hate, probally because I limit my exposure to music to what I like and prefer. I'm not a big radio listener so I get very little exposure to annoying musicians.

3. If your favorite singer wasn't in the music business, do you think you would still like him/her as a person?

See 1.

4. Have you been to any concerts? If yes, who put on the best show?

Yes, but not until I was in my 20s, which sucked. I have to remember to send my daughter to concerts when she's in her teens. I think the best show had to of been Barenaked Ladies. It was such a high of fun and joy from both them and the audience. Plus it was a "hometown" concert for them and it showed.

5. What are your thoughts on downloading free music online vs. purchasing albums? Do you feel the RIAA is right in its pursuit to stop people from dowloading free music?

My thoughts are reflected in my actions, actually. I will download songs/artists that are mentioned to me, or I'm curious in and listen to them, but if I find that I want more of the album I will go and buy it. I think the ability to download and listen to music without having to pay $25 for the CD has made me buy more albums than if I didn't.

I think the RIAA has the right to enforce copyright which is being abused, this I don't argue. But I also think they're morons.
