Oh I definitely think it's "just enough" - but that's really my point. We've devalued the art form so that a simple stream of music is all people really look for. Without the wider media points to tell the deeper story of the artist, or allow them to voice their message or whatever, music is stripped right back to just the song as a transient thing to enjoy.

It's why I feel we won't see megastars soon; the conditions just aren't there to allow them to occur any more.

And don't get me started on the superfan thing. I get triggered like all hell by that one, heheh. Its like Universal and co have only just discovered the concept when companies like Topspin were speaking to that market a good 14 years ago now.

I hear you man. Again, all of this was easier when there was an agreed way of things, despite them being imperfect. The longer I live with the internet, the more I realise just how much has been lost

To it & technology as a whole. But it’s a great time, because things will change. Thanks for all your work.
