An explanation of the Recording Industry's failure invokes Kansas City and why big name musicians can't stand playing here
This informative tidbit from Gawker not only reveals that the Internets is killing music but also explains why there isn't any decent act from this decade playing at The Sprint Center:
Irving Azoff, the manager of numerous high-profile acts including the Eagles, says that a few years ago he presented the band with a financial analysis showing that their royalties to date from iTunes sales were far lower than anyone expected.I've always known that big name bands in their prime hate playing Kansas City but it's interesting to learn why . . . MONEY or lack thereof is the reason the Sprint Center is worse than a collection of music from Time-Life!!!
Guitarist Glenn Frey did some back-of-the-envelope math of his own. "His comment was that it amounted to 39 minutes on stage in Kansas City," Mr. Azoff recalls with a chuckle.
Ha, and you know they don't pay much in Kansas City! Now there's a budding backlash, as some record labels look for ways to return to the days of selling entire albums, which are much more lucrative than those singles that iTunes mandates.

What does this small market sound like? Garth Brooks coming out of retirement on day 14 only able to register a whisper.

Too. Fucking. Late.
The music industry has no one to blame for their death but themselves. They kept prices artificially high while paying the bands jackshit. Now they whine that they are not making as much money as they did back in the day when they had the consumer over a barrel. Well boo-fucking-hoo RIAA. I relish your death and plan to piss on your grave long after you are gone. I ONLY support bands I like by going to see them in concert. The last non blank CD I bought was in 1998. You corporate bastards created this by suing your customers instead of getting on the bandwagon @Napster. Fuck You And Die RIAA.
I want Jewell to tear me apart, stick that leather finger up my bum, and then leave me bleeding from her snaggletooth attack.
I'd hit it. But then I suppose she'd try to talk to me... Maybe not.
mammmmmMammmmmmmYummmmmYummmmm.......I;d suck those mams till they bleed!!!! sweet, creamy.....sigh!
Oh that's so f-d up. 8:18 is a crazy copyfighter and he has the most reasonable comment.
Tony you have collected quite an interesting group of creeps and readers.
