The pirated CD one always makes me sad! Thanks to illegal downloading, we won't have a music industry in another decade -- if it takes that long.
ReplyDeleteNo kidding. It's sad for the music industry in this day & time. Back 10 years ago, a billboard #1 record would have sold over a million copies the first week. Now days 350,000 records sold in the first week will put an artist at #1, That's now considered good. sad
