DICK i need to talk to you about this interview. Do you remember doing it and with with whom and where?DH: I think like everything else, we in the music world, have the advantage of a great platform to stand on and lots of people watching and listening. The thing that artists do better than almost anything else is that. I’ve had the great fortune to work with a lot of really political artists Melissa Ferrick, Ani DiFranco, or Amy Rae. Who have taken really strong, great stands on issues and you just want to sit and listen. Course, Ani always says, “I really wish you’d join in”. So, we’re going to continue on the Future of Music side of things on education on helping artists understand what the new economy is, how they can be a part of it, things they could be doing, or what they might be doing that they’re not doing now. We’re going to focus on educating lawmakers, focus on educating people in the government about our positions on these issues and why they are important to artists and trying to develop, and focus even more broadly on local initiatives in the city. In the past, we’ve done a variety of different artist retreats, getting artists together with policy makers and/or speakers. I’d love to see more of that happening in local communities. There are lots of great places for the Future of Music Coalition to fit in in the broad ecosystem that impacts the artist. Last, but not least, we want to provide a forum, where people can discuss things like subscribe share, whether or not it’s the right thing to do for distribution. Or where people can discuss ideas that they have about how they’d like to see any number of topics related to marketing artists, developing in a way that doesn’t have to require a label or brand attachment. I have no problem with labels, at the same time, I have no problem with somebody going it alone, either. I’d like to see both very viable options, for the majority of individuals that participate, not just a select few.
Well it almost certainly happened when I was interim ED of Future of Music Coalition in 2016-2017. Looks like this was paraphrased a bit. Feel free to connect on Linked In Ned and we can discuss further? Perhaps this was Tom Truitt’s interview series?
Mr. Huey both Eric and I are totally AMAZED not with the fact you didn’t want to work with us (on fixing. a truly broken music industry) but the way you just dissed us both outright. I thought you had more character. I thought you had some or any character.
love the lore!
