Gene Simmons is from KISS, not Radiohead. You read it wrong (not surprising, it was a bit confusing). Gene Simmons is from KISS, not Radiohead.

Music is art above all else, not an industry. You can do business with music, but it's not a thread on which its existence hangs and there are plenty of ways to do business involving music yet having nothing to do with the corporate bigwigs and leechers who call themselves the "music industry". So far they've shown to be nothing but thugs who by their practices essentially want to force people to buy from them and deal with them. They are also mostly responsible for the draconian extensions to the copyright law, albeit I don't believe in such law anymore anyway. Facts are all that matters. Humans are creative beings. Individuals will always wish to express themselves through art, music included. Government, industry.. etc. just don't enter the basic equation there. I pretty much agree.
