The music industry doesn't exist the way it used to. You'll never have another star like the stars of the '90s.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
Many of our greatest musicians abandoned all of their aesthetic objectives to try to become pertinent. And, at the end of the day, they never became pop stars. I counter stated that very strongly, and I continue to do that.
There are so many venues in which stars are exposed today, that we just know much more and the studios don't have the control over stars like they used to, in the 30s, 40s, and 50s.
I feel very blessed we can still have a career making music.
I'm pushing ahead on my own - you no longer need a large record company to make you a star.
A lot of people these days are not music lovers - they just want to be famous which is a very different thing to what I grew up believing in.
I didn't get into making music for the fame aspect. There are people who do desire that.
I happened to come along in the music business when there was no trend.
It's unfortunate that music has become such big business.
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.
