Does the loss of EMI hurt or help LOST OCEAN (Bakersfield's Beatles)?

Welcome to Nu Bako SoundOFF.  I'm Dr. BLT, and I'll be your blog n roll host.  As your host, I  will supply the topic, and the tunes.  All you need to give me in return is the talk. 

Personally, I don't think there's any stopping Lost Ocean.  When the Sex Pistols lost EMI, they wrote and recorded a song about it, that basically said, "Ef U."  Lost Ocean is not an "Ef U" type of band.  They are more like the Beatles, Buck Owens' favorite band, but with a modern twist. 

I'm sure that by now, most of you have heard that Bakersfield's own Lost Ocean lost their contract with EMI.  I don't like to either beat around the bush, or pry, so, in a recent interview that has not yet been released, I mentioned it briefly.  You will soon get the results of that exchange, when the interview is published, with links to my musical response to the interview, in the form of new songs, like this one:

 

They Said Good-bye to EMI
Words and music by Dr BLT copyright 2009
 
They said good-bye to EMI
And hello to independence
In this here life
Sometimes we lose, but then we grow
Some times you win the most
When you just let it go
 
They said good-bye to EMI
And hello to one more show
And one more set upon CD
This may be the best year
That they’ve ever seen
 
The Pistols didn’t care at all
When EMI tried to make them fall
They just went down in history
Did not turn back to EMI
To plead
 
They said good-bye to EMI
The Beatles said I say hello
You say good-bye
And what is lost
Is somehow gained
If we believe in things
that rise above the flash and fame
