I think, basically, the music industry is scattered and in a mess. I think you've got lots of people that are so-called 'experts' that have no idea where it's headed.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think that the music industry is such an interesting place, and there are so many situations that people don't know about.
But anyone who knows anything about the music industry knows it's not only about the music.
The music industry is a world of smoke and mirrors: they tell you exactly what they think you want to hear. And they are bare-faced lying. I tend to stay away from that.
I still don't understand the music industry that much. Everything I learned was from hanging out with rock musicians in studios. I certainly have respect for those who make music their livelihood.
At the end of the day, there's only a few major stars in the music business, and then there's all these people that are aspiring to be that.
I think it's a reflection of the music business in general, which to me seems very fragmented.
The music business has changed incredibly. There used to be 50 record companies. Now there's only three, and it's just getting smaller and smaller. But then again, you have the Internet, so anybody who has music can get it out there.
The music industry is transforming fairly rapidly.
Today, music is great for entertainment, but it is lacking soul; it's lacking substance, and it's difficult to find good stuff. There are too many corporate interests. It's not about the actual music because it's about the corporation, and music just becomes part of a package.
The music industry has been hijacked by corporate interests, but the way music affects people and resonates with them hasn't changed.
