A good article on the state of the music business, and perhaps a bit of insight into some of the pressures that Jem was under (from all sides, not just Frost*)

Just thought it raised some very valid points regarding the increasing pressures on artists

And general decent bloke into the bargain - met him once at a drum clinic he did with Simple Minds' Mel Gaynor.  I really went there to see Mel but came away more impressed with Steve! (So much so I almost could forgive him for playing for the Style Council...   )

TL;DR












Only joking A lot of that has become the standard opinion now of the industry now. I myself rarely buy music unless I can get the cd for a fiver or less.

Seriously. Sell albums for fivers, I'm sure more would be made than no one buying it.
