“...because the suits are dictating to the masses what they should listen to...”
I was just reading about the rock group RUSH, and their producer said that most (all?) bands have a “suit” that is either involved throughout production, or has the final say on the songs/album. I didn’t realize it was like that. (Rush doesn’t - they do the album, cover art, etc. with no interference.)
Frank Zappa talks about what happened to the music industry.
