"Jerry forever!"
"What would Jerry do?"
"the petition says it all pretty much. Anton from Brian Jonestown Massacre has all of his bands albums for free download on his website. You guys should remain alternative and share the music!"
"Please do not take the music away from the fans. After all, we paid your salaries over the years."
"do the right thing"
"I hope the GD realizes what a grave error they made!"
"amen."
"Baaaaaaaaaad karma!"
"FREE THE SBD's"
