Music industry culture of corruption PING thing.

As Frank Zappa said, no one who ever went into a record company with an auditor ever walked out empty handed.

And yet the industry swears that musicians are hurting because of digital downloads, not creative accounting.

Your label is not your friend. ASCAP and BMI are not your friends. They collect money on your behalf. Paying it TO YOU is another matter entirely. They like to see their bottom line increase too.

I presume Cher is liberal like most of the denizens of Hollywood, but I give her credit for not badmouthing Sonny in politics and giving an offbeat but acceptable eulogy at his funeral. It shows that just because people differ in their political views they don’t have to vilify each other.
