In a sense it is true. It is directed at children, who then use their money to buy the music.

Absolutely.

Ian Anderson is a very astute commentator regarding music.

If I could afford it, I would buy my cousins Classic Rock albums, but they probably wouldn’t even listen to them 🙁

Kids are told something is a ‘must-listen’ song or album, and because the DJ’s & TV presenters say so, they buy it.

Ohhhhhh… the folly of youth!

Why, Ian Anderson of all people should know that, since in a sense he was (at JT’s peak) a latter-day Pied Piper of Hamelin.

Yes, I wouldn’t want to be the one to argue with the great Ian Anderson

Absolutely, in the States kids don’t buy their own crap music anymore, their parents buy it for them. I give my nieces and nephews Jethro Tull and other good music,LOL!!!!!!!!

music business. i’m sure there’s art in there somewhere

that why you join a band. not for a pair of Manolo blanic’s

or to live in luxury. without the message the greater good

is just song and dance, of no import.

Agree. This is true… just listen to the crud that is being churned out these days. Is that music or crude vulgarity.

Maybe yes, but as long as the children love it and don’t feel anything bad/wrong about it, it doesn’t really matter.

eh.
