dont be so bitter Guffie, in the entertainment biz, if you haven't "lost" a job 2-3 times a year you're not working on the right shows. even well-paid, working talent goes on unemployment several times a year. as soon as the strike is over, the machine will snort back into commission and the 16 hour days will be back. your friends should enjoy this good weather while they can.

sorry Andy, I meant the strike in general, not KT Tunstall who is awesome for supporting something she believes in. I think I'm bitter because a bunch of my friends lost jobs.

Those are awesome photos and -- yeah -- I totally couldn't name that cover song in 5 notes like I thought I'd be able to. Great stuff. Guffie, I don't understand the "already wealthy writer making more money" line. I think many writers of all stripes look up to KT because she'd been writing songs for years before her break -- she was probably 30 when she was first heard outside the UK, she went to college, played all kinds of music, and never bothered dating anyone in Take That or got on Pop Idol. It's actually pretty cool and I think photos of her showing solidarity with the tank top, etc has a positive effect.

I could care less about an already wealthy writer making more money. This is a classic case of lesser of two evils. The writers are lucky that people hate studios and networks more than rich artists. The only writers who profit from their demands are WORKING writers i.e. ones who already make good money. I would be more sympathetic if this was about the struggling ones. By the way, no one outside of L.A. cares. And I don't even think most of L.A. cares. I just feel sorry for all of the people losing their jobs.
