Amen to that. I have been playing music for many years and the most important thing in the song is the emotion it generates. Too many times musicians lose sight of that and get away from the depth of music and lean towards commercialism.

It is refreshing to see the new media outlets and independent sources available to allow the musician new platforms to share his art.

Emotional interaction doesn’t feed a hungry bluesman.

I suppose the dreamers are thinking of an arrangement where they can “emotionally interact” with the music and some big company will pay the artist for letting them advertise all over the place. But that is a miserable solution, as we all know.

So once you’ve had a little cuddle with your favorite song, drop a couple bucks onto to the plate as it passes by, or your favorite artist will be forced to go into advertising.

that interview is a great read about the evolving music business.

good reads on his own blog, too: “The future is not about ownership; it’s about the emotional interaction with the files through increasingly sophisticated PDA’s.”
