I believe every word of what he says. A friend of mine once organized concerts. These guys that hang around the music business are dumb as dogshit.


I wouldn't be able to recognize a good technology person

Cop out. Any idiot could say, "Hire me a division head from Microsoft" or whatever. The technology is quite simple, and having missed the boat the record industry is going to have to go with plan B: Cut costs and lower prices.

I watched a movie the other day and went to amazon to read the reviews--I was shocked to see that the soundtrack was 50 percent more expensive than the DVD. Obviously, an unsustainable model.
