Interesting

Probably pretty spot on. It's getting harder and harder to make a career out of recording and playing music.

maybe

maybe not

Just because it's harder to make a career out of it doesn't mean 41% is just tossing in the towel.

These are the long term effects of guitar hero.

Good. That 41% sucked anyway.

On the other hand though, how does this balance out though that in the Indie/Warped/Punk scene alone (however you want to categorize it) there's been an explosion of the number of full-time touring bands/kids identifying themselves as musicians since 1999? Weird.

A psuedo communicatory explanatory letter. Like that

An industry operating on a model created in the early half of the 20th Century that has barely adapted to modern technology and consumer demands is struggling in a lackluster economy? How interesting...

Because they know ALL of the bands in the world.. Every last one of them. Silly statistics for the sake of statistics.

It seems like nobody in here actually read the article.
