The guy from Slat...jace, I kind of agree with you. The guy from Slate was a downer. Even his comment about radio stations playing crappy music whether they are getting payola or not was very cynical; even though I thought it was kind of interesting.<BR/><BR/>The point that the other guy made that I thought was keen was the one refuting the point about payola being no different that publishers paying B&N for prime placements of their books. His point was that payola is worse becasue the airwaves belong to the public and radio stations are only allowed to use them because we let them. Therefore, we, as the public, get a say in how they conduct their business.Flatlanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17069299445469035037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14112087.post-1133855074542849172005-12-06T02:44:00.000-05:002005-12-06T02:44:00.000-05:00the guy from Slate on Soundcheck really peaved me,...the guy from Slate on Soundcheck really peaved me, but I can't really say why. I thought his arguments sucked and his analogy of payola being akin to publishers paying for shelf space at a Barnes and Nobles was so shortsided...ugh. The other guy from whatever artists' assc was pretty spot on though.-jacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04381076492795514325noreply@blogger.com
