Re what is “killing” music; nothing has done that like the recording industry. I recommend the book “The Decline and Fall of Popular Music” by Donald Clark; on this subject.

He follows the story over several decades, of how serious music experts were supplanted in their “Artists and Repertoire” role in the recording industry, by tone deaf New York city lawyers and glitzy marketing experts.

He ends with some comment like, our only hope for a revival of the old days when good music was popular, and popular music was good, is for the whole recording industry to go smash. And he says that Sony signing up Britney Spears to a contract of $200 million is a definite sign of an industry about to do just that.

Just add the blackout banner in your template between the header and main body (between the divs, with no alt text) and you’ll be fine.

I found the easiest way to ‘turn off’ comments on my wordpress blog was simply to put them all into moderation for the time being.

Thanks for the advice about making a static page, DPF.
