4 things that killed the recording industry.

This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

If I had to take guesses:

1). Monkees songs on the backs of Kellogg's cereal boxes

2). Video (Oh, sorry. That was "...The Radio Star")

3). Abandonment of the eight track tape

4). ColecoVision

And, possibly as an alternate choice: Phil Spector...

5. iPods and earbuds -- not only did music-as-ones-and-zeroes enable mass theft, music-as-a-solitary-experience ended the marketing that boom boxes and portable radios provided.
