BAKERSFIELD SOUNDwaves

Of course most of you are painfully aware of how much I hate fame, or even the thought of it.  Fortune, or rather, the thought of it, has also made me ill. 

So is it any wonder why I would be getting worried, now that a Chicks-dissin'-ditty I wrote, recorded and released as a free download is approaching 10,000 downloads per my goddaddy stats tracking program?   Yesterday, in the period of 24 hours, 715 hits were recorded.  So the momentum appears to be mounting. 

For those of you that do like money, at what point would you begin to charge for the song?  And how many download hits do you think it would take for me to convince a major label to re-release the song under their name? Did I make a big mistake to begin with by "pulling a Radiohead."?

Songwriters are not good on the business end of the industry.  So any advice you can give me would be appreciated.  And, for the time being, you can still pick up the song for free:

This one is right on the heels of  "Playin' Politics," and I recorded it with the aid of Bakersfield's own Mark Yeary, formerly of Merle Haggard and the Strangers.
