Mellencamp on Music Business

he pretty much 'nails it'....soundscan pretty much killed the chances of 'breaking' a record....after that, the 'end' of rock and roll radio was eminent. add filesharing(theft) and a subtle evolution of consumer habits, priorities, yada yada.......you can't go home again.

This is the same as what is happening in all trades. Greed and the all mighty dollar is all that matters. People and product quality is no longer part of the equation.

Greed is definitely the issue and the largest problem in the great USA... It's a shame that people can be bought and sold so easily, but unfortunately, money is the fuel of the capitalist machine. Now where's my bonus???
