I worked at MCA RECORDS (when it was on the lot at Universal Studios) for almost 14 years.

There were serious changes in the industry that affected a lot of people very deeply.

After having been on the front lines of that, I was intrigued by what the author had to say.

Maybe it's the twilight of capitalism in rock and roll, and the new age of socialized rock and roll,lol!

Wow--you are right on target with this!!

I don't understand why the record labels/publishers didn't just create their own streaming networks with ads.

I remember that some people at MCA Records were very disbelieving and resistant to the changes going on. We had to beg just to get computers and then we got Word Processors first. Then we had to fight to get Windows instead of dBase and Lotus.

It would be interesting to find some discussions about their views on streaming...I'd left after 1995 so didn't get in on that fight.
