Good Idea? Not?

I read your front page and can tell we agree on much more than who the best guitarist is. I can't say officially but what you might call the thought of embedding links to the store as Street Teaming might be construed as more of an ad sponsorship.

I got slammed on my personal Facebook for slipping in personal political opinion in between Joe B posts. I had to refer people to my Music Promotion Page for anybody that doesn't want to hear my political rants but still wanted my musical opinions and news. I was accused of representing Joe and tainting his image. I wonder if that would be the case if the person agreed with me. Oh well I'm used to hypocrisy.

I think your blog is an admirable adventure and the thought of stealth Street Teaming their is also much appreciated I'm sure but guilt by associations might be interpreted by having a link on the sidebar. Joe is one of those rare musicians that thinks he is in the music business and that doesn't mean you want to hear his political opinions. He is at the stage in his career where he can't afford to piss off half his audience and to tell you the truth even if he could he still doesn't want to use his platform to preach from.

I would say possibly since you have an educational blog maybe link to Joe'e Keeping the Blues Alive project. It is educational and exposes people to Joe the Blues artist without upsetting the equilibrium he maintains on other issues.

I agree and was gonna say pretty much the same thing. Either way it IS advertising, so at least if the Keeping Blues Alive is educational, that might be more fitting.
