Do you offer ideas on how to "fix" other industries? Any ideas on how o solve the NFL Labor issues? How about Network TV's downturn in the face of Cable dominance? The poor craftsmanship of American built automobiles? The demise of print journalism?
Probably not.
But for some reason, everybody and their mother knows EXACTLY how to 'fix' the music business. That's what I'm saying. Music fans have some weird sense of superiority that makes them think that the people behind the scenes are just stubborn and don't know how the world works. Yet the same shit is going on in other fields, and instead of offering up ideas, people just point and blame politicians.
I don't understand why everybody and his mother seems to attack the music business, and ironically, it's one of the few industries that ( on it's purest level) is built to give you some sort of lifelong emotional attachment in return for your money.
