      <![CDATA[rewrote this a bit:<br>
"Converse and the Long, Slow, Possibly Unfortunate Death of the American Dream":<br>
<br>

      <![CDATA[Well, I guess piousness about corporate money in a commercial art form is one of the things I find really unattractive about them. Of all the things I think about music when I'm listening to it, "Is it stringently ethical that this song exists?" is pretty low on the list.
