Future of Music, Coalescing

The Motley Fool today:

A less restrained distribution model would move some of the control from the music industry's hands and into the consumer's...I'm thinking "paradigm shift" here -- the end of massive superstars, and the rise of music for the people, by the people, and of the people.

Jacques Attali thirty years ago:

Today, in embryonic form, beyond repetition, lies freedom: more than a new music, a fourth kind of musical practice. It heralds the arrival of new social relations. Music is becoming composition.

I guess this kind of makes up for all that stuff in Noise about death motels, etc.
