Legendary drummer Carmine Appice, know for his work with Vanilla Fudge, Cactus, as well as Beck, Bogert and Appice, has stated that the landscape for popular music has changed, and not really for the better, at that.
It sure appears that he is right. Remember the days when artists refused to even consider selling their songs to commercials? Now, it seems to be one of the few ways left for musicians to make money and get their songs heard to a very wide audience.
And while the internet has clearly, obviously been very good in some ways, it also has been bad for other reasons. Appice feels that it has had a detrimental effect on music. Streaming, he suggests, has choked the life out of the music industry:
"The only way to make any money today is if you get a song on Netflix or you get a song in a movie."
