As artists, we recognize that we stand on the shoulders of musical giants. Those who came before us not only inspired us, they paved the way for our careers. We are proud to stand with them today. IT’SAMATTEROF R-E-S-P-E-C-T Digital radio companies like SiriusXM and Pandora offer listeners a wide array of music. That’s good for fans, and good for musicians like us. It’s worth celebrating. What’s not is that these successful businesses refuse to pay artists for songs recorded before 1972. That’s just not right. Pandora and SiriusXM, we urge you to do right by legacy artists. Pay for all the music you play.
