The bricks and mortar of the music business, they don't exist any longer.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
The music business is the most childish business in the world. Nobody knows what they're selling or why, but they sell it if it works.
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.
Unfortunately, music devolved instead of evolved. The music business got into the hands of lawyers and accountants rather than the entrepreneurial creative people, and that's when the beginning of the end started. It's all based on money instead of art and creativity.
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.
Music and the music business are two different things.
I've always treated the music business as a business.
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.
As for the music business itself, the key things have not changed that much. It operates like any business and money still keeps things moving.
It's unfortunate that music has become such big business.
