How clueless is the music industry?

SteveDallas · 11-27-2007, 12:09 PM

Even more clueless than we could possibly have imagined.

Quote:

"There's no one in the record industry that's a technologist," Morris explains. "That's a misconception writers make all the time, that the record industry missed this. They didn't. They just didn't know what to do. It's like if you were suddenly asked to operate on your dog to remove his kidney. What would you do?"

Personally, I would hire a vet. But to Morris, even that wasn't an option. "We didn't know who to hire," he says, becoming more agitated. "I wouldn't be able to recognize a good technology person — anyone with a good bullshit story would have gotten past me."

you're surprised at the idiocy of an industry that produced music by Leonard Nimoy, Don Johnson, and Paris Hilton?

Perhaps now we will see truly creative singer/songwriters gain notoriety, again? One can hope.

Leonard Nimoy had an album?

I am so out of touch, I don't even know who that is.
