The truth of the matter is that Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young music has very little commercial value at this point. Perhaps there may be a market for 75 million listens at $300K, but that market drops off rapidly if you start charging anymore money. Sure, I'm willing to listen to Southern Cross if it's on a playlist for next to nothing, but I wouldn't go out of my way chase the song down and I certainly would not pay to hear it. These songs are 50 years old and they just are not that popular anymore, despite what the singers overblown egos think. .

There is a reason that I can buy most of the music I like for $1 or $2 (or $5 at Half Price Books).

No a lot of call for old John Michael Talbot or Phil Keaggy music.

To stretch a metaphor further, neither Dandy Don Meredith nor Roger Staubach never made a million a year until toward the end of their careers.

$300,000 for a Spotify replay of just one of your songs (no effort on your part) may not be fair to you, so get a better music agent.

And then we can discuss how music is better it is now, in the days of Sony Music and other conglomerates owning everything.
