It’s all down to one thing to be honest. Liberals run the music industry. Look at Katy Perry. She was a decent ‘act’ on the Vans Warped tour. Then she was almost normal. To get support, she had to become what the industry wanted. And portray WHAT the industry wanted...thus the pro gay songs and pro obama campaigning.
In this case, artists that want another record produced and distributed can either follow liberal positions or enjoy life as an indy with the record companies fielding ‘competition’ in their market until they go bye bye or ‘get their heads right.
History always repeats. Heard any new DP lately?
Deep Purple?
