| I can't think of another area where the opposition between art and the bottom line feeders is so apparent nor so badly handled.
Anyone who looks at "The Music business" will not have problem seeing a constant effort to produce music...without the artist!
When that's not possible, (and it's horrifying often it IS possible just by grabbing 5 guys with abs or chicks with, well, chick stuff!)
Then they try to produce music without paying for the artist.
TLC, a recent phenom, made not one dime from the millions of albums sold!
So this is the history of the industry. It was only natural that they should get around to screwing the listener as well as the artist.
