Salon: What’s wrong with the music biz?. “Napster’s out of the picture, but for the first time in a decade, album sales are down — and ticket sales are sagging too.” The sub-title of this article seems to imply that Napster has something to do with the decline in sales, but looking to blame either Napster’s existence, or lack thereof, is way off the mark in my opinion.

Here’s my take: What’s really wrong with the music biz:

“The record company execs couldn’t give a rodent’s sphincter about the music itself, so how could they possibly understand their market?… The people in charge of making decisions have no interest in investing in the long-term success and growth of the truly talented musicians and songwriters, whose careers they’re supposed to be building… Is it really any wonder that their target audiences are bored to death? Is it a surprise we’re sick of hearing the same adolescent schlock over and over again?”
