So true...

The record industry is full of the scum of the Earth. 99% of them are people who are not musicians, would'nt know to recognise a truely original talented artist if their lives depended on it. They will chew you up and shit you out...

Very familiar with that vid. If anyone is/was qualified to speak on the matter it's FZ!

Very practical advise from Dick Dale for today.

Frank Zappa did not address losing rights and the debt aspect of labels and record companies.
But as for talent, he was right.

I wish I could play that Dick Dale interview at every music school and Podunk venue every where across the world.
