Music Industry would be recording Jimi Hendrix and Coltrane right now if there was a demand for it. Black Eye Peas are way past their prime, but they are #1 right now because their attitude toward life is still hip. Madonna's formula has worked for 26 years! Lionel Richie blew Danny Gokey away on A. Idol duet, but he's not hip anymore. Record companies are interested only in making money, which is the right thing to do. Then they will still be alive to record the next Beethoven/Elvis/Bird when the civilization needs it. We are too spoiled now to care about music. We are weak and flabby, junk food music is enough to support our pathetic lives. Music like the great classics, traditional jazz, even early rock was born out of suffering and hardship. There's no need for intense music now. When there is a need the artists will emerge to feed the sheep.
