Winglet, you are often well thought with your opinions and sources, I will agree that the perfect storm may be brewing, but we know how fragile our economy and industry is. For that reason, I refrain from too much optimism.

DashDriverYV,

If all the disgruntled and pessimistic doomsdayers in this industry would just go ahead and throw in the towell then the chances for career advancement would increase exponentially :D.

The music business(and the airline business-jungle) is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

I like to see positive thinking, but it is more impressive to see a firm grasp of reality in which the dross is discounted and the pros and cons are understood.

Already offered, not required. :p
