It's the inner passion of each musician that will bring the music industry to its once respectable level, albeit in a new, yet to be determined form. It will take a grassroots effort from the actual "artists" to determine this new path, not the suits. Some artists are pressing vinyl again which I think is great. No better way to engulf the entire experience of the music than to open a double album with all of the lyrics printed in the inner sleeve, surrounded by the expressive artwork and thinking how it correlates to the significance of the songs. Keep the passion Drew. How do you like the Peavey bass head? Matt Mongelli Drew, you're right on the money.

As an old timer, who listens to artist and buys their recordings, I'm sorry to see an art destroyed. Mr. Mercadante is correct, we should continue to allow an artist to exist and be a part of our culture. Does anyone remember Frank Sinatra? He and others like him have staying power with my generation and those before me. Will the new generation have anyone similiar? I play my "oldies" all the time. Will any of my nieces and nephews have that same loyalty to their one hit wonders of today? What an insightful article.

If you compose something that is meaningful to peoples hopes, dreams, accomplishments and struggles, they will seek it out. Figuring out the business end will be difficult but someone will do it, they always have and they always will. It is a very interesting puzzle because artist need to eat too. Sounds like figuring it out would make for a very exciting career.
