Sorry to be nostalgic, but I miss popular top 40 radio, huge concerts and great intimate club concerts, too. I miss guys like Michael Jackson selling 30 gazillion albums where everyone and his and her dog has "Thriller." It was a conversation piece as well as a community listening album. EVERYONE at my small college had the LP and I went to a rural, state school in the NW with not a very diverse student body.
But I appreciate Ms. M's efforts for the Indie artist. I'm not sure, but today's music landscape might be better for the Indie musician as they can get their music out there better via the internet.
But I do hate the downfall of the music industry, no matter how slimey it could be. I actually liked Berry Gordy and Gamble & Huff pushing music in my direction.
Maybe the Indies will eventually rule?
