For me, when he humbly and politely asked via
TTY to download TQID in UK, only during the last week of May, he was asking for support for the message he attributes to the song.
It's very little to ask (99 cents) coming from an artist who dared to express consistently during three decades a set of ideas contrary to several groups of power. He denounced the monarchy, the abuse of animals, the business of war, the music industry, etc. Anyway, it's only a choice. It's something you make freely if you feel it in the depths of your heart. It's not like when you HAVE to pay taxes, for example. As I see it, it's a good gesture, like when you invite a friend for coffee.
