Ok guys... Then lets go with this for a bit down that bunny path I like to take from time to time... Say the market is as bonked out as Alan describes below... I mean.. so bonked that nearly all the best musicians in the world are dupped silly.... nearly all the finest concert halls havent got a clue... all the best recording studios have totally rewound brains... proffesionals from virtually every walk of any life that touches on the music industry completely ignorant of there position in this musical version of the Emperors Cloths story... What possible difference could it ever make to expose the lie ?? In Zwipp Diddly Dwip Tweet Time it be replaced by another such lie. No.... I buy the market line only so far... but it doesnt stretch far enough IMB. I liked Ron O's post a lot. He put a real topical head on the nail in that second and third paragraph.
