- What a sad state the music business has become. Artists who are now in the twilight of their careers are giving away their records in a bid to remain famous and chart active.
- I can’t believe Sir Paul is doing this!!!
- What’s sad is that Brian thinks it’s sad...
- I’m sad that Tom’s sad because Brian’s sad :-(
- Poor Mary! Hope you’re OK, luv. It’ll be alright; I bet Tom’s feeling better already.
