I remember reading an article years ago about how how the big pharmaceuticals don't invest enough research in antibiotics and how drug resistant bacteria is the new epidemic. The reason the pharmaceutical companies don't research new antibiotics is because there is no money in it. Why create a drug that a person only takes for a few weeks when you can create an anti-psychotic that people will take for years? It's a sad world.

It wasn't the radio that killed the record industry, it was MTV.

David Crosby (The Byrds and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young) gets it right. He said, "It [MTV] changed it from being about the music to being about what you look like. And that was a terrible blow to music, because now you've got all these people who look great and can't write, sing, or play."

Once MTV hit, the record labels learned that they could make easy money by signing artists that looked good, whether they could really sing or play an instrument. The labels hired image consultants for their artists to tell them how to look/act so they sell. This business model led to less talented artists being signed, which explains why there is so much crappy music today, which is why people buy less music.
