The music industry is and has always been a business. And pop music especially has always been about the make-money mentality. Put something out there that's ephemeral, lacks substance, and is extremely catchy, and people will buy it for $00.99 and love it for a summer. They'll listen to it on the radio. They'll dance to it.

Henry Rollins offers an incisive take on the state of modern music. "It's like corporate food — the guy at the kitchen at Olive Garden really doesn't care if you love his linguine. It's just order 37, and he hates his job." : Music Tuesday, October 8, 2013 @ 6:40pm
