• The actual truth is...
  SInce the revolution that is the iPod and iTunes, which was
  really brought about by the initial revo. Napster, until Metallica
  showed the world what they really cared about. The public has
  had an incredible opportunity to discover new music. And the
  fact is, they are discovering more than ever thought possible.
  And in many cases they are buying a wider variety of music from
  lesser known vendors. This has done incredible things to the
  independent legs of the music industry, but is crushing the big
  dogs. The real problem the big guys have has nothing to do
  with whether or not people are still buying music. It has every
  thing to do with the kind of formulaic kiddy crap the big dogs
  have been shoveling up for us for the past two decades.
  You want a hint Rick? Drop those overpaid jerkoffs that write all
  those candy hits for your lineup of performers, and hire some of
  the excellent Musicians that are already out there writing and
  selling their gems through smaller vendors. Oh, wait, that is if
  you can convince them to take a pay cut and jump from their
  dinghy to your sinking Titanic. Good luck, you bastards. In reply to: "Music exec says business model is 'done'"
