Even More Stupid Music Biz Tales

Did you know that since 2002, webcasters can't broadcast more than 4 songs by the same artist in a 3 hour period. Landline radio stations are different, but since just about every station now streams everyone is in the same boat. Big deal you say. Well, I was listening to Sirius' Dave Marsh show and he wanted to play more songs by Bo Diddley but couldn't. After he reached his limit, he could only play samples. Remember when Elvis died and stations played his stuff for hours. Or John Lennon. Or Sinatra. Apparently someone is monitoring this stupid rule because Marsh wouldn't violate it. Tribute show should be given a pass. When Bo Diddley or James Brown dies stations should be able to give us all we want in remembrance. More stupid music biz tales. Will it ever end?
