Oh, and btw, some of the information is outdated as of a few hours ago since I recorded it, as well as I had a cold during the filming of this, so obviously, that's why my voice sounds a bit stranger than usual (though it sounds strange even when I'm not sick lol). Either way, I hope you do get something out of this!

Yes they should and they would still be rich because it's all fixed. They are monopolies cranking out the same sound with kids in diff clothes, ever see Kesha and Lady Gaga, same sound, diff clothes. I want real music back, not monopolies running my music. It sucks and it's crazy out there.

In response to your video title: Yes and Yes :-)

@jlongenderfer1 That is true... ;)

the music industry has always been this way-its not about music, its about money. The record companies produce inartistic crap, mainstream america loves it and buys it, everyone's happy. that has nothing to do with real artists. the real artists make real music and produce it the way they want, thats all that matters.
