Do you remember taking Music Appreciation and/or Art Appreciation classes in High School? While most of us viewed those classes as a waste of time, they still managed to instill an awareness of artforms that would otherwise have seemed alien or irrelevant. Other History classes focused on large events, movements and dates. These humanities classes, however, focused on appreciating the values of other cultures in other times/places.
Given that most, if not all, of these classes were cancelled more than a decade ago, it's not surprising to me that we've raised a generation who is functionally culturally illiterate.
Now that we are turning the nation over to a group of people who think that Kanye was the first President of the US, we may need to lower our expectations.

A blank CD would actually be quite an improvement over his actual "music".

It's a new world. The other night I was talking with a young guy that does technical stuff in TV and movies. He just turned down a job offer to work on the new Star Trek TV show. He didn't want to be locked-in to 1 project for an extended period of time. Then he showed my a music video has was doing for one of his buddies. It was great, as was the album art that he contributed. We listened to some tracks from the album and they were great too.
The whole package was very professional and sounded great. SO I asked when I could get a copy and he told me he'd send me a link. I told him that I wanted to buy it, but was told I couldn't, because the whole thing will be given away online. The composer wrote everything and played almost all the instruments. Everything else was just friends helping each other or an exchange of work. The guy does it so people can hear it and that's all he cares about. And for the record, it was done on a laptop with Logic Pro and recorded in a living room.
Kind of stands several business models on their heads. Millennials really see things differently.

I find that story a bit fishy... (I mean, who has a "living room" anymore? He probably just didn't want to admit it was the basement at his Mom's house... )

Sad that it's come to this, but I see no downside to a world of profit-less music. Sure, there'd be a glut of burger-flippers and Wal-Mart greeters entering the job market, but the music itself would not suffer. Keep it in perspective: music has only been a money-making enterprise for less than a century, a blip on the musical timeline.
 All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to. My Stuff

These guys may not fit the picture of kids huddled in their parents basement. They live in Toronto where the thought of buying a home is unobtainable for most. Most of the guys I've met don't own cars and many don't drive. They rent and use public transit while changing jobs every 2-3 years. Zero loyalty to the employer. That's completely backward to the paradigm most of us codgers grew up in.
I was with one company for 25 years. After that went south no one wanted me because they thought I was too old and too set in my corporate mentality. Then that company cut my pension and cancelled all the benefits I worked 25 years to get. I think the kids are on to something.

Hmmm. Hey "blip"flipper! Ok, troubadours and minstrels and bards made a little money during the middle ages, if the King didn't cut off their heads. I think Ancient Greece probably had some itinerant philosophical buskers with lyres. Not sure about Rome, though. Mr. Bach made some jingle playing organ in a church. Beethoven made enough to buy a piano, before having to cut the legs off of it. And then we get to the "recorded music" period, lots of money there for a time, for some! And right about ten years ago, sayonara to selling music. So maybe it was more than a blip? Our generation has the luck of riding shotgun on the avalanche, as Shawn Colvin once wrote and sold a little. Thanks, Obama! :) -Tom
