The Decline of the Music Industry


Click bait for sure!  Actually, this is Frank Zappa's opinion on why the industry declined, but if I would have put his name in the title, many would have skipped over it.  I personally never connected with Zappa's music, but I do agree with what he has to say here.

We learned long ago that businesses have three basic phases and 4 steps to ruin:

1.  Genius creates whatever
2.  It sells, and genius realizes he has no idea how to sell stuff, so hires a guy to market and sell it while she/he continues to invent and improve and innovate 
3..Sales and marketing team can not manage the money, so they hire a money team to deal with it.
4.  Money people take over the organization and start telling the genius what to "invent," when to release it for maximum money making, and then begin running the business and minimizing everyone else.

Happens every time!

Cheers!
