Music Industry?

Where is the music industry heading? Some may say it is collapsing on itself, that yesterday's acts are gone and record labels are doomed to support disposable artists. Others may say that there is plenty of raw talent in the business for it to sustain itself. Is music growing less appealing with time? Will there be another musical breakthrough era like the 1990s? Is the industry losing power to the convenience of the Internet? Do you think today is a great time to be a musician or a very bad time ? Why do you think so?

What do think when you hear of the ''American Dream''? Now-a-days in our society what does it mean to have this? Would you consider fancy cars, lavish homes, glamourous clothes being it? Do you think living life in a comfortable setting making ends meet with some cash left over is more like this dream that many immigrate to our nation to achieve? Or do you think a life where you're barely making enough to put food on the table but you're happy and so is your family is more like it? Do you think it just means that you have the freedom of religion, speech, and press? Is it a place where everyone is equal and really treated the same with no exceptions? Is the Dream a never-ending party? Do you think that today in our society, in the state that it is in today, it's much harder to achieve your idea of this Dream? What's it take, in your opinion, to get what is most coveted by thousands and thousands of people in countries that don't have an opportunity to succeed?
