They decided the pennies GOOTUBE gives them were not worth the time and effort.
Well, a big WOO HOO to ONE DIRECTION, who made over a quarter of a MILLION dollars because they have brats who can nag Mom and Dad for iTunes download money and get it.
What's the lesson here? That Boy Bands and Taylor Swift and Miley can make a fortune? That the only way anyone in the music biz can make money is to appeal to the rancid tastes of tweens?
Just lovely.
It's nice to know that the music biz isn't happy with the pennies that GOOTUBE (and Spotify) pay.
So they figure that since the old timers like Elton, Macca and the rest CAN'T produce new music worth paying for, the only hope for new rock music is bubble gum garbage for high schoolers?
Let's face it. With the exception of a favorite singer/songwriter you might have, a favorite group you might give a pass to when the new album is mediocre, ROCK MUSIC is dead. New Wave was the last gasp. We are not likely to hear anything fresh and new. The last fad was what, RAP and VOCODER? No, not my idea of an innovation, and these new techniques were flogged to death.
People really want to go see a concert by Mumford and Shlubs? Go see Kid Rock or Aerosmith? Go take drugs and stand around while Nicki Minaj squeezes her tits? JESUS FUCKING CHRIST.
Who even looks at GOOTUBE videos at this point? How long ago did you watch a good one? For me, it was Weird Al's parody of Lady Gaga's "Born This Way," and that was years ago, and a parody. What am I waiting for, Kate Bush to bounce her rubber tits around? Peter Gabriel to make faces? Rock video is dead, GOOTUBE rock videos are dead, and rock music itself is dead.
The music business is damn well going in ONE DIRECTION.
