I skipped the whole thing. I needed to do it to preserve my sanity.
So much has changed since last year and I was incapable of feigning any enthusiasm to stand around on concrete floors listening to bands I love or loathe.
It’s easier for me to listen to music these days than before but I am not as passionate about it. Amusingly, I may be more passionate about the business than I’ve been for a while.
I still see a lot of really positive things happening and a tremendous amount of potential. When I think back of when I started in music, the entire business changed. A couple of times.
