Oh please, the US will stay a friend of Rock forever.
There's no hope.
we used to think that any sort of dance/electronic derivative would break
in a few years, and that was back in 95 or 96.
B/c music has to be marketed and the major labels have no clue how to
successfully market it, they gave up. done, dead, over.
The only thing that gives me hope is how much electronic music there is
out on napster and gnutella.
ugh, don't get me started...
