The legends of music past, those unforgettable singles that echo through time. Where are today's equivalents? Or is it simply hindsight is 20/20. No I don't think so.

And what does that mean?

Gerd, the music industry does need leadership. Or as Seth Godin calls them "a heretic". But I think the true lesson that Barack tries to teach is that we as the people must pull ourselves up by the bootstraps and push forward. Barack will accomplish little if we do not follow. Nay, not follow, but lead in our own right.

And therefore we come to the rub of it. Do we as music creators really want to change the foundation of a century worth of the current regime. I have spoken with many artists on this subject. I can it see in their face. Maybe that is my faltering as a leader.

How is the "long-tail" supposed to be enabled when society allows the ancient barriers imposed by the current record industry.

Another side is that most of the world is not wired for broadband.

"...we don't even have the most populous countries in the world (China, India, Brazil, etc.) connected to broadband yet!" - Gerd Leonhard, mediafuturist.com

I think that the benefits of longtail will only be realized when music ubiquitious on a worldwide scale. And we are far from that.

Thats like the entire state of texas going broadband in one year. That ain't bad considering the rate of media consumption will also grow per user.
