What really scares me is the idea that multinational
companies could totally control the kind of music  the
world will be captive to listen to.
Yea I know this is  like Orwell thinking....  but if
no one can bring recordings of our musical heritage to
life ... then our heritage will disappear and we will
hear only  what  is politically correct for today in
todays sound.
Now that is scarey  !!!!
