Art thrives on misery, when we look back at classical music, composers were lucky if they can get one piece of their work played, most of them lived in horrible conditions and look at the jems they produced...fast forward to 70's, early 80's it was the cold war and a total culture explosion and you know that the best music was always from artists that were stoned...so what happened now?
Glitz and glamour with always be associated with music, but before the artists set the trend, they came up with the smackin new cool lifestyles, now record industries make it so artists follow trends...just look at the whole skater scene, as soon as that got started there were tons of one hit wonders, followed by artists that shop exclusively at Hot Topic...there's nothing cool and original about artists anymore.
And the 15$ cd, it's just crap, i'd only shell out that money if the most of the music on it really had something good, and if they lower the price, i'd lower my standards. I mean I'd love to help someone keep their job but not if it means listening to cds that sound like they were pulled out of somebody's ass...that's nuts. If people had a job security based on sympathy of consumers...it would be the end of technology as we know it.
So at the end of the day, save money for music that's worth it, and the record companies really oughtta save contracts for the artists who really have talent and maybe they'd make money again and we'd still be happy consumers.
