Thank God for the furniture companies! We have all this great music that has influenced generation after generation (including Phil Alvin and the Blasters) because of them!

@therealroadstar ... true, but not really "digging up"... googled his name, clicked on the first link and read a wikipedia article. all in all, 24 seconds wouldn't constitute digging up.

@therealroadstar He has a master's degree from CSULB He's a math genius, and a mad hatter!!! The coolest

Man, Phil is so clever & eloquent. He's right ! The basic argument is that the dumb ass tries to sell the big ticket item i.e. hardware, whereas the smart ass realized that the software is where all the money is. Which is why they give cell phones away for free these days. Phil Alvin for president - (more) change we can believe in ! Boy, we don't see the likes of him on American Idol these days ! He's too dangerous ! He could out-smart Simon Cowell !

You know he's right. Up until the late '50's records were purchased at Furniture Stores. That's also where you bought your record players. Furniture Stores are where you recorded your songs. H.C Spiers(the guy that discovered Robert Johnson) owned a Furniture Store. People would come to his store to record. He'd get paid $5.00 for every person he referred to the record company as a good prospect for recording. I didn't know Victor & Okeh were furniture manufacturers. Youtube educates too!

Phil's obvious intelligence, insight, grasp of history and everything else led me to do some digging on him and damn, he's far more than just a great singer/songwriter/guitarist. He earned a PhD in math and artificial intelligence from UCLA. Damn! Well done man, well done!

last words "...the record business, which has nothing to do with music. It has only to do with furniture. Music lives in Bars"
sums it up perfectly.
