That is quite true. I buy every CD Phil Keaggy releases as soon as I can, but very little out there interests me anymore. I have about 400 CDs, for crying out loud, how many more do I need to buy?
I remember the music industry was in the same sort of duldrums in 1979. They whined and moaned, but the 80s turned out to be very very good for them. I am sure they will turn this around, as well.
Exactly... then along came innovative bands and the music video and it seemed like all kinds of creativity. What do you know, music sales soared. Then around the mid 80s commercialization set in and innovation started to dry up. It's been a downhill slide since.
