Good post Mike....your opinion is FACT. We cannot generalise too much..... yes there is always the exception...... but.....money is the prime concern with ALL business especilly music. The labels will pick up an act or drop an act just for money reasons. Whilst I cannot see the talent sometimes I can see why the record companies go for a certain thing. I too have seen people who get to make records. They sell and you wonder why? Why do they got chosen rather than the hundreds of others who could do much better. Maybe it is just because of their long blonde hair and big boobies.
