When I was starting out, playlists weren't as tight as they are now. They were playing all kinds of different music at the same time. Now you're looking at markets that are very discreet. It's like segments of an orange. Record companies are faced with a real dilemma because they don't have a real broad-based listening audience like they used to.
Record companies are in disarray.
They don't know where to go. The industry is in a state of flux. The people who are making money are the ones who are writing and singing their own songs. Such grim words from the man gave the world his beautiful balloon. Say it isn't so, Jimmy.
