Quicks: Matchbox Twenty Rodeo Bull, Def Jam Tag Product Whores was a top story on Monday. Here it is again: (antiMusic) Remember Matchbox Twenty? No? They were a band that had some hits a few years ago, but are now playing events like fairs and rodeos. Not Hootie and the Blowfish, the guys who's singer gave Santana his first hit is something like 4 decades.

But now you won't even be able to find them at a Wyoming rodeo as they are all Peta over the idea of making money over the alleged mistreatment of animals. . AP reports, "Matchbox Twenty has cancelled a performance at a large rodeo event in Wyoming... making money from what it believes to be the mistreatment of animals. " No details of said mistreatment were mentioned. Bull? You decide.

Island Def Jam's Jermaine Dupri proclaimed, "my goal is to find artists that have longevity written all over their face." We can respect that, as not too many label execs seem to have that in mind these days. However, he was talking about the following when he made the comments, "Consumer products giant Procter & Gamble is getting into the hip-hop business by launching a record label with Island Def Jam Music Group. The joint venture with be called Tag Records, a nod to Procter & Gamble's's Tag body sprays." And these label execs wonder why their sales are falling. They've seen to have forgotten that you can make big profits without sacrificing credibility. - Just look at the top five best selling albums in U.S. History.
