I don't see the big deal. He's trying to get his music out there. Radio isn't what it used to be. They just don't support new stuff. Do you remember hearing one Rolling Stone song from their new album on the radio? And it actually wasn't a bad album. Anyway, I think this is better than going on crap shows like American Idol in order to be heard which a lot of bands are now resorting to. These bands have to take different avenues anymore if they want a platform for their new music. The music business isn't what it used to be.

You have an excellent point about the music business. Increasingly consumers are presented with a homogenized view of the "product", be it music, the news, whatever. As music is (or should be) an artform, it really doesn't flourish under mass-packaging.


All you've got to do is choose love.  That's how I live it now.  I learned a long time ago, I can feed the birds in my garden.  I can't feed them all. -- Ringo Starr, Rolling Stone magazine, May 2007

Surely it's been like that for years.
