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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have known from the beginning one thing you need to know. That is, the music business is a business.
I think there is a big difference between the music business and music. And my relationship is to music, not music business. I think the business will keep changing, but music won't. Music will be there.
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.
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.
I think in certain areas the demand is greater than it has ever been, and my business is better than it's been in 30 years. The music business is so precarious, as you know-you've got to make it while you can make it, and that's exactly what we're doing.
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.
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.
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 first thing you learn about the music business is that it changes very quickly. You come into it at a certain point and you think you have a handle on it... And then, three years later, the whole thing has been turned upside-down.
Music and the music business are two different things.
