Worth watching every second of this video’s 9:23 beginning with the great Frank Zappa, this is an analysis of how marketing breeds out innovation in music.
Update: here’s an interesting (and lengthy) analysis of the video by Cynical Musician (often a good read). As to whether he’s right in his criticisms, be sure to make up your own mind!

Great find Dean I am passing this around more people need to see it.
The man at 5:30 seconds got ire though, promoting donwloads to teenagers to cell phones that mom and dad will pay for. He is still seeing music as a commodity like corn or electricity.
Yes; he is old school, isn’t he, trying to find a new analog to the existing framework.
