As far as the future of the music industry is concerned, one problem with cutting out the middlemen is that some of those middlemen, like Sam Phillips, Leonard & Phil Chess, and George Martin, brought their own considerable talents to the music.
Bozoer (God how I envy you that cognomen), the thing is that I don’t think the Sam Phillips’s and George Martins are going to be lost to this; if anything, I suspect they’ll have greater power than they did. George Martin, Alan Parsons, and others, I suspect, will turn out to be the impresarios who will turn musicians into recortdings that get played.
Let me recommend Jeff Price’s article today in the HuffPo.
