There is this idea that the sheer volume of recorded music somehow devalues the commercial viability of records. This is commonly espoused by the self-appointed industry gate-keepers. It's just not true. If anything, the majors cheapen music when they shove yet another auto-tuned hack waving her T&A in our faces. If Ke$ha sells more singles than the Beatles, clearly something is ass-backwards
What the gate-keepers don't realize is they are the ones that inspired us to take up music to begin with. So if you don't want new musicians, new media then stop making music in the first place.
Even when we consider how little we spend on arts education, there is never a shortage of new talent. And since none of us were born knowing how to play, we've always aspired to the greatness we've seen in others.
If your lawn wasn't so nice, I wouldn't want to play in your yard.
