Here's a quote I feel well put in the words of Lenny White. It speaks of present day radio and it's negative effects on music as an art form:
It's a highly political landscape. Radio used to be a place to hear new and exciting things and a place to discover new artists and musical styles, but now giant conglomerates play music designed for specific purposes own radio. It has become like a new showroom for new manufactured products. The attitude is not just prevalent in radio. We are dealing with philosophical mindsets that run rampant and deep. The condition of art is in a vulnerable and sad state. So much so, that those things that are associated with art have a hard time finding a viable place. It's because art doesn't have the same reverence it use to. People don't have respect for life so how could they respect art? Humans make art. If you don't have a respect for humans how can you respect what a human does?

Lenny seems to be a very insightful and realist thinker in deed. Google him and find videos or quotes you may find very interesting in deed.
