Why Artists and Record Companies Still Suck

American Idol has a Bee Gees night, exposing songs to a young generation brought up on Itunes and downloads. And you know what? None of the Bee Gees classic songs are available on Itunes. Is this why the music business (artists and record companies) is in such bad shape? It's 2007 and artists can't figure out that the kids want immediate fixes for their Ipods. They won't be going to their local record store to look for a Bee Gees Hits compilation for 10, 12 or whatever ridiculous price catalog is selling these days. But download a few songs they heard on a TV show? I've long advocated that artists that don't want to sell their songs on Itunes should have their songs lifted for free from MP3 sites. Will anyone ever learn?
