Wayne was the BEST. An inspiration for us all.
Crushed to hear that Wayne Kramer has died. A longtime friend of FMC, a hero for his music and his activism, especially with @JailGuitarDoors. We'll always remember him kicking out the jams at our FMC honors gala.

There's not just one culprit
• ownership consolidation in print, digital & broadcast
• predatory private equity buyouts
• ad tech duopoly
• extractive digital business models
None of this was inevitable. All of this reflects public policy choices.

I will love @Nationals forever and ever but what they did to their fans tonight is so completely unacceptable.

We don't have to accept the status quo. We actually can have a music industry that centers community values, that treats artists and fans fairly. But we'll have to work for it.

How great is this?
Please welcome @Bartees_Strange to this summer's lineup. @newportfestsorg has made a grant to @future_of_music which helps musicians navigate the complicated business structures and public policies that impact their lives and livelihoods.

The train wreck that was the Taylor Swift ticketing debacle led to renewed debate over Ticketmaster, monopolies, and how tickets are sold.
@Nate_Rgrs examined how the entire music industry is facing unprecedented challenges:

Grateful for the work of Barbara Ehrenreich, who inspired many to make “invisible” labor visible, and to center workers in public policy discussions.
Congrats to @MarissaRMoss for writing Her Country - a deeply researched story of resilience in the face of failing music industry structures (particularly consolidated commercial radio). An important book and a great read.
