| agreed - there is only a problem in the minds of those who wish to cling onto the old model. That is gone. the golden age of rockstars flying round in private jets has ended. So what? It was the privelage of the few anyway.
How many CD sales were there in 1994? According to records - about 540million. How many last year - just under 500million. The peak was in 2000 - around 900million. Yes its in decline. But its not dead yet. there is still some money to make.
Any industry is what you make it - nobody deserves a career just because they can "do it". I music career isnt a right. If there isnt a demand, tough. Who cares? Not me. I love music - but propping up something because too many people wish they had the carerr of their idols is just narcissism. Music because you want to, music because you love it.
Nobody buys steam engines any more - that hayday has long departed. We just don't need loads and loads of half assed bands making music. I say let it go where it's going to go. You CANNOT turn back the clock - the damage is done. |
