# Dear Rockers, I’m Paying You Back

(http://www.darrenbarefoot.com) strikes again.

Darren has created a site (http://www.dearrockers.org/) for paying back musicians–in particular the musicians whose music we download and don’t pay for. I can’t imagine who these people are!

**Here’s how it works:**

1. Pick a musician

2. Write them a letter

3. Scan or photograph the letter and send it to (http://www.dearrockers.org/submit-a-post/)

4. Mail your letter with 5 bucks

5. Enjoy your new, guilt-free life

**Here’s my letter to Wolf Parade.**

Dear Wolf Parade,

Your tunes are awesome!!!

I don’t have any apologies to the Queen Mary but maybe an apology to you. I like your music so much that I am willing to go to any means to get it. So for any songs I might or may download free …

Here are a couple of Queens.

I’ll send a fiver instead of coins. But there’s a dude on the $5, which means my Queen reference doesn’t work. Oh well.
