So you're a billion dollar fashion brand loved globally, huh? How about paying musicIans you hire to play at your events? How about allowing them compensation?Allowing them at least a tip jar? How about allowing them to play their music instead of only your version of "popular tunes?" HOW ABOUT RESPECTING ARTISTS? Your recent post sickened me, and your non-apology retraction made it even more apparent how you feel about artists. How dare you?!
