Only Music Spurs Such Dreams…

From NYTimes today:

“A career in the arts has always been difficult to establish. But in the last few years the process of breaking in has changed as digital technologies and shifting economics profoundly alter the ways in which art is made, popularized and consumed. Perhaps no entertainment industry has changed as rapidly as the music business, where CD sales have imploded and revenues from digital downloads have yet to make up the difference.”

“Whether that constitutes a disaster or an opportunity depends largely on how old you are.” (kfg: oh dang, that hurts…)
