Aside from the fact that I kind of liked Rod doing those songs.....but back to the main point.

I totally agree with Sandy that the music industry deserves to die. It's probably about time.

But as for what's killing it?

Hell, it's not the Justin Bieber's, Katy Perry's, or even the Millie Vinelli's, and the idolization by teenage girls.

I'm assuming you've all heard of Rudy Vallee.....the Bieber, Perry, Vinelli of the 1920's and 30's.   He certainly didn't kill the industry.

The the talent he displayed was questionable at best. (Abysmal at worst).   And I'm sure there are many other examples.
