Has the thought ever entered their pea-brains that maybe people don’t want the cr*p they’re producing? We know that Country,R&B and Jazz music lovers prefer to buy cd’s. Are they producing any music these three demographics are willing to pay for? If you know that younger people are downloading your music for free and refusing to pay,why do you keep producing the garbage that they won’t pay for? You’ve got to follow the buffalo! These idiots just don’t get it. You produce what’s going to make you money! Why abandon 80% of your audience because they’re over 25? If BMW or Toyota or Mercedes decided they were only going to make cars for the under 25 market,how many cars do you think they would sell? If they decided to get rid of all R&D (A&R) and wait for outside designers to come up with new models,how much money do you think they would make? We’re not going to produce a car until someone brings us a concept we like? If that sounds dumb,then why do the major labels operate that way?
