I follow Jaimie Vernon on Facebook not because he has anything to say (kidding, Jaimie) but because he has a way of pushing buttons that bring out the worst in people. When he’s pissed or maybe just mischievous, he can bring out more of a knee-jerk reaction than an “I Love Obama” placard at a Tea Party convention. And he did. Last week. I can’t quite remember what he posted originally, but I do remember the responses, many of which make me shake my head. They weren’t pretty. His response to those was a bit of an I-get-this-kind-of-asshole-response-every-time-I-post-something-not-glowing-about-the-(insert iconic idol here). In other words, he, like myself, does not love The Beatles just because they were The Beatles and God forbid he make such a statement public.

As the line between art and commerce continues being eroded by divested corporate interests in the form of major record labels (BMG, EMI, SONY, UNIVERSAL, WARNER) that control that art, word came last week that digital media manufacturing giants CINRAM have filed for bankruptcy. To the layman the immediate reaction is “Who?”. To those in the music industry this announcement is more ominous portents of an inevitable music apocalypse.
