I don't know but I thought Tom Morello's view was pretty spot on:

"When you live in a capitalistic society, the currency of the dissemination of information goes through capitalistic channels. Would Noam Chomsky object to his works being sold at Barnes & Noble?"

People often confuse selling out with promoting the mesasage.

In some cases sure, but isn't the point to get the message across? You do that by increasing your audience.

Robert Mugabe


Mugabe is a massive sellout. Believe it or not he was quite idealistic back in the day. Now he'd rape his own mother's corpse to stay in power.

isn't "selling out" something that teenagers accuse bands of once they become really successful because they are annoyed that they like mainstream music. It like when people moan that "the old stuff was load better, man". As if you lot wouldn't sing Yellow polka dot kikini for a million squid.

selling out is a phrase used by ppl or groups of ppl who have little individual thought and who latch on to someone else to feel part of a group

who then get heartbroken because their hero(s) or heroine(s) arent as perfect or as idealistic as they MAY have seemed to be. thus giving them a lack of self worth, calling their heros a sell out is their way of being seen as 'cool' again..

no one sells out, they just get older.

I think Peter Cook's stint on Joan Rivers as some sort of English stooge, smacked of sellout
