I know we go through this kinda thing all the time...

The label wants it like blah & we do blah...then they want blee so we do blee...

And yet in most cases the artist has SO little say in the matter, most of the time they're mearly pawns.

But I dunno...

Does a guy like Ozzy have to 'bow' to the whims of the label as they spend his money?!?

Couldn't someone in his position tell 'em to stuff it 'cause he likes 'X' better then 'O' and thats what HE wants HIS record to be?
