My wife showed me a blog this weekend written by Nick Simmons. He interviewed his father, Gene Simmons, on the death of rock and the current shift in the music industry. They discussed the lack of iconic artists in today industry, and the lack of financial support for songwriters and rock artists due to file sharing. The interview touched on things that I have mentioned in past posts, and went deeper into the state of the music industry. Rather than attempt to write on this topic myself, I would like to refer you to this source. Here is a link to the interview:

As a disclaimer - Gene Simmons does use a sparse amount of vulgar language within the post. I personally chose to ignore that since the quality of the discussion and content was so high.
