pete waterman: "music industry is selfish, dishonest and greedy"

He's just mad at not getting more money out of it now.

trying to imagine a Bank of Scotland ad ft. 'Never Gonna Give You Up'. thank you Pete for turning that down.

but can we get Waterman to say the rail industry is also selfish, dishonest and greedy?

If the music industry is more money driven than ever before, it's thanks to people like you, Pete. The 'music' Stock and Aitken wrote and you promoted had no artistic merit and was cynically created purely to sell records. That cynicism is throughout the music industry now and prevents bands of genuine merit getting any airplay. Coincidently, the only way some bands can get any exposure at all it by having a song in an advert, as radio and MTV won't touch because they aren't Beyonce, Justin or Girls Aloud manufactured shit. Wilco sold a song to Volkswagon as it was their only chance of widespread airplay. this is one of America's best bands being sidelined by the money driven mentality of people like you, Cowell and Fuller who couldn't give a shit about music and who sadly define the industry today. Music would be in a far healthy state if you and your ilk had stayed out of it.

Ha ha - you couldn't make it up. Poor Wilco.

he's in talks to produce the next electrelane album

He is right and, along with Maurice Starr, he is the one to blame.

people be bringing down the music industry into something they understand and can control.

can we kill BOTH waterman AND wilco?!?
