This is one of the saddest parts of the change story.
The music industry is dying a slow death. Not just because of
illegal downloading. It's the lack of innovative new music
being given a chance to get to the people who would like to hear it.
Greed and corruption is the problem. The record labels and the radio
conglomerates are simply self-destructing. Over 40% of the music
purchased today is "catalog items," meaning traditional music
that the public is familiar with. Older established artists.
This is also true on the live concert circuit.
To explore this fascinating and disturbing topic further, check out the book,
Appetite for Self-Destruction by Steve Knopper, and the video documentary,
"Before the Music Dies."
