a question left unanswered for tim oren
tim has taken a spin through my latest bit on the business of music, and asks a follow-up question: “What’s the model for the rest of the market (and the rest of us)?”
i want to see where the high end leads, so i don’t want to start another essay right now. at the same time, i don’t want to leave tim hanging…. a good part of my work-of-late is involved in answering that question, and not surprisingly, i do have a model (and one that wasn’t tossed together in a couple hours!). it’s about improving economic efficiency and expanding the segments of the curve where it’s viable to be a musician, so when and where the beatles show up again, they can quit their day jobs and get on about the business of making music.
oh, and thanks for the positive comments!
