John Mellemcamp on Music Industry

Posted by PP on 25/03/09

John Mellemcamp has written an interesting article on the state of the music industry and why it is in as bad shape as it is, check it out at Huffingtonpost.com.


Here's an excerpt from the article:

"Record companies soon discovered that because of BDS, they only needed to concentrate on about 12 radio stations; there was no longer a business rationale for working secondary markets that were soon forgotten -- despite the fact that these were the very places where rock and roll was born and thrived. Why pay attention to Louisville -- worth a comparatively few potential listeners -- when the same one spin in New York, Los Angeles or Atlanta, etc., was worth so many more potential listeners?"
