Has anybody seen this documentary? I know it's relatively "underground" and I think you can only get it through amazon.com. Anyway, it's about 90 minutes long and features interviews with some leading musicians (Dave Matthews, Elvis Costello, Les Paul, Eric Clapton, etc.) and also music industry folks. They basically talk about the state of the record industry and the (terrible, IMO) state of radio today and how much the music industry as a whole has changed with the advent of the internet.

I found it to be very interesting and informative and I think a lot of what they said about how major record labels and radio operate today can be applied to Journey, especially with talk of the new album. I highly recommend it if you come across it.

Yes, it is definately a must have. I thought it was very insightful on the state of the record industry. I'm not going to lie, I was a little depressed hearing music executives say that artists who changed the scope of the music scene like Bob Dylan, Ray Charles, U2, etc. would not get a shot with how today's music industry is. The parts on the state of radio today were also sort of depressing.

Now that sucks............ it just shows how "superficial and artificial" music has become........
