Artist fight back!! I found this interesting artical on yahoo about a coming shake up in the Music industry. Heres a snip.
The drumbeat of war has been building in recent years as artists wrestle for self-empowerment and vow to amend a system that let soul greats Otis Blackwell, Jackie Wilson and Mary Wells die destitute. Before she died, Peggy Lee was part of a class-action settlement that won unpaid royalties. Courtney Love filed suit to break her Geffen contract. Prince fled the corporate structure and pitched camp on the Internet, where he sells directly to fans. Tom Petty's upcoming album, The Last D.J., slams industry greed. The link to read the full artical is: http://story.news.yahoo.c...ay/4450243 | |

Thanks for the heads up. Going to check out the article now. While they're at it, someone needs to do something about the state of radio these days. It's the same songs, over, and over, and over... The finger pointing at the moon is not the moon...dammit! | |

Well, it's par for the course since it's directly tied to the way the music industry does business. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |
