I'm glad about what's happening to the music business. This last crop of people we had in the 90s, who are going away now, they didn't like music. They didn't trust musicians. They wanted something else from it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The music industry has been hijacked by corporate interests, but the way music affects people and resonates with them hasn't changed.
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.
I am disappointed in the music business, I feel like a lot of people in the music business are phoney, there's a lot of people who will abuse and take my kindness.
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 business has changed so much that they're able - we're able these days in the music industry to be able to control our own destiny.
I don't even know what words to use to talk about the music industry anymore. But the business has changed a lot - the methods of releasing music.
The imminent demise of the large record companies as gatekeepers of the world's popular music is a good thing, for the most part.
It's unfortunate that music has become such big business.
I don't relate to what's left of the music business. There doesn't seem to be any point to it anymore. The business that I grew up in and loved, we made records a different way - there were record companies, there were stores where you could buy albums.
As music became more profitable in the 1990s, it seemed like it attracted a lot of people who were just interested in the financial aspect of it, which is depressing.
