i would say this chap has some sort of *nostalgia disease*... he's very out of touch... i was signed to six major labels through my teens up to my late thirties...but this last ten years has been the best time..a real learning curve with the new technology...i don't need to be in a major record contract to record decent sounding music anymore...i've never been more free artistically because thanks to the internet, i'm not beholden to mainstream radio's prudish sensibilities..i can now write whatever i want..i can be lyrically as unhinged as i please ...all sorts of stuff....i know many people who had hits during the 80's..they were broke then and they're broke now...anyone who uses modern times as an excuse to not create,simply isn't creative. the paradigms of music will be changing forever..no point in moaning...just put the hours in...find a way and enjoy it... it will take a whole lot more than what he suggests to brings about the death of creativity.
