Todd Rundgren Time for the Music Industry to Evolve pt 1

[Bob6stringer]

I've got a touch of dissonance here; I spent my childhood with a transistor radio "glued" to my ear before the Walkman ever came out. The main innovation was stereo, and of course the ability to play cassettes. However, I don't see how either portable medium marked a discrete flip from product to service. But it's good that people like Todd are doing some thinking to help spur progress.

@Bob6stringer Not sure I understand the discreet flip comment, but radio, being a free service wouldnt have been that flip. I think you could consider the radios pay-ola scandles and that eras star maker pop industry, as the maker that flipped on the switch of bloated sales of singles, and creation of the expectation of massive revenue returns for plastic disc(including cassettes-etc) sales, instead of relying primarily on touring returns(which is the service).
