Trying to reform the radio and music industry is like rehabbing Lindsey Lohan or Britney Spears. While it might look to hold promise, we all know that the relapse will take place when nobody’s looking.
This type of attitude, along with the proliferation of free P2P or discount downloading are quickly rendering radio obsolete. I firmly believe that we are in the middle of an important evolution in this biz that will end up favoring the consumer and the artists. However, for the artists to win, they have to change their revenue model and how they make money.

Exciting times.
