I'm surprised there aren't more comments!! Love Bessie!!

We don't need huge record labels all the best music is not on them!

since 1933 the worlds population is like more than x4 what it was, you'd think we'd have x4 the talent too... how did we end up with less?

@godkingRoss When she was singing there werent huge record label conglomerates. Labels don't care about real music they care about what sells. It could be garbage as long as people flock to it. And as long a the sheep keep eating from that pasture, well...need I say more? Theres still some good music out there but it's mostly indie and you have to diggggggggg. But yeah, major record labels suck balls.
