Actually this was explained in a
Slate article today; the fee is paid for by the
venue and it apparently has to be a special license over and above whatever license they already pay for for their sports games.
But I like that the artists come out and say something publically.
You know, Ann and Nancy's dad was a career Marine. They grew up as military brats and they are quite patriotic and love the military. They just have a good head on their shoulders and they know when their music is being used for bunk. lol.
