Morten is angry with the press, who has cirtisized him for asking to get to check quotes and facts in articles about him. - It`s a direct lie, that I have demanded full editorial controll. I have simply asked to check for fact and that I have been quoted correctly. He feels that artists are often messed with by the press - I have seen Norwegian newspapers boycotting artists for having a photo ban on their concerts. why the fxxxx does the press think that Bruce Springsteen wants a photo ban on his concerts ? Because he does`nt want photoes taken of his performance ? No, it`s so that photos are not missused. It`s the only reason. The press puts in front of them alot principals, but then one can experience to see the pictures on T.shirts and merchandizing . Have you experienced this yourself ? - Yes, i have. The press makes it look like it`s us artists that mess with them, but it`s really the other way around. I do not know any artist that wants the kind of control that the press wrote of yesterday. We only wish for a nice dialog and a minimum of respect.
- Morten Harketsupports a person`s right to do whatever they feel they must do. If that is boycotting or informational picketing, we support that.
- Kweisi MfumeBoycots are something that may make the person who`s boycotting feel better, but it doesn`t necessarily make conditions any better for the child.
