The Decline of the Music Industry

Click bait for sure!  Actually, this is Frank Zappa's opinion on why the industry declined, but if I would have put his name in the title, many would have skipped over it.  I personally never connected with Zappa's music, but I do agree with what he has to say here.

The grain of truth in there is it started going downhill when people started making decisions based on how music can be used to control other people.

The beginning of the end was the death of Top 40 radio. These days, every station is specialized to one genre of music so no one is exposed to anything new. I listened to WLS and WCFL in Chicago (RIP) in the 60s and heard, and learned to appreciate, a little of everything.
