I saw today that Max Bemis from the band Say Anything has opened his “song shop” again. The basic idea is you email him your thoughts and feelings and he will write you a personalized song for only $150.00 and send it to you.

At first this comes off to me as another brilliant idea I wish I thought of.  Then after thinking for a few minutes, it seems like he is using his fame to exploit fans and make money.  If that makes sense.  He is making $150 from each song.  I haven’t heard any of the songs, or their quality levels but I’m guessing they are acoustic and pretty basic.  

I suppose if you really like the band, it is a dream come true.  If one of my favorite bands did this, I guess I might consider it even.

What do you think?  Good or evil?
