Your connecting with fans, giving them a reason to buy and then an artist will make money little ditty has been effective to focus creative, artistic non business personalities on a simple philosophy for success they should all be able to grasp. There is no rocket science here, only an obvious concept stated to a well defined group who needs to hear it. Otherwise, it's unfortunate that two rather smart guys allowed themselves to devolve into a who has the biggest balls verbal altercation. I have seen your live presentation and viewed various videos of yours and have read your blog when it talks about the music business. I know you are brilliant, informative and entertaining but, if truth be told, you are not really giving the average artist any kind of take away that helps them execute a strategy to build a fan base so they can have a shot at making some money. It's great to offer perspective on various artists and their personal success stories. However, what would be great is if you would put your fine mind to work on how emerging artists, with great music and a live show can actually connect with people who can become their first fans and how they can develop a business from this point and what it is they really need to do to accomplish this. Today's rtists need all the help they can get to cut through the clutter and noise of the DIY music space. You need to be a part of this solution. What suggestions can you offer to help figure this particular problem out. Thanks
