Did it ever occur to the music industry that the reason sales suck...
...is because MTV and VH1 don't play videos anymore?

I don't know why artists even bother making them anymore, with the limited amount of airtime they get. Playing them on the internet isn't always on-demand either, what with the DMCA.

My $0.02.

1. I always thought it was because the music sucked
They probably don't realize that, either.

2. Yes, they don't care why sales suck.
Because to care would be dangerously close to the possibility that they'd have to acknowledge that they are a big part of the problem.

It's much easier to blame downloaders.

4. Why sales are down
The music sucks, sucks I tell ya'.

They take no talent trash with either a good rack (male and female) and a cute face and call it music.

Not to mention all that other mind nummbing electric guitar overdoneness.
