Oh this is rich. I got this far and saw no point in continuing:

Retrogression is a return to an earlier state. We wish to return to a time when diverse opinions were offered in various forms of communication. We wish to return to a time when all people's creativity was valid, when music was something that brought people together and built and strengthened community - as opposed to the current situation where music divides those on stage from those not on stage, and invalidates the views of those not on stage, doubly invalidating the views of those who can not afford CDs. We wish to return to a time when music was a part of life rather than a distraction from it. We wish to return to a time when music was an inspiration for struggle rather than a chamion of the status-quo. We wish to retrogress, once again, to a time when music was made by people, for people.
