Thanks for writing this book. In so doing you have prevented me from having to... You have also confirmed my worst fear- that despite the hype, it's impossible to make this story interesting. It's hard to create empathy for people and companies who are driven solely by greed. The protagonists of the book are snakes among snakes... and I'm not talking about the record companies... I had the pleasure of meeting and working with most of the people you discuss- some are more benign than others, although you wouldn't want to see any of them come home with your daughter... Of course there is no and should be no sympathy for the nastiness that is the music industry... It's probably the book's only irony that one ends up feeling that maybe the industry dinosaurs have been mistreated...
