When self-proclaimed realists say that the music industry has its downsides, but “that’s the way things always work”, Fugazi proves them dead wrong. Still, as inspiring as Ian’s example is, we can’t sit around hoping that record executives will wake up one day and see the light; just as it would be a waste of time to pray that every young band will follow Fugazi’s lead and stop seeking fame and fortune. What we can do is change the direction that the music industry is headed; and the turmoil the major labels are in right now presents us with an incredible opportunity.
