And does everyone remember "Payola"? The stench of the Almighty Dollar emanates from every crack and crevice in the industry of sound and always has. As with most arts, the dealers, distributors, the sellers never see or understand art but they do know how to make (and more important, keep) a buck. Just what the commodity is, is not important. Understanding the consumer, manipulating wants and desires is ALL important. It seems as though one either has "art" or "business" but seldom both. That, or a "Nose to the grindstone" mentality. This is who mostly buys the music and other various and sundry dreams. For what it's worth...
