Exactly.
The new model is very much (and Guy Hands take note) adapt to the real world if you want to profit through talent.

Quote from Lynch, "there are cds for sale in the foyer, but I really don`t care if you go home and download them all for free..."
And why wouldn`t he when 2000+ people pay to see one guy with a guitar nightly?

Yes Mart - this is a fascinating area and one in which I've become involved - 20,000 full length online views for Vile Pervert: The Musical yet I'm as aware as anyone this could well be because it is free.
Doesn't matter to me - I just want to reach the largest possible audience. But I've reached the age where I luckily don't need income.
There are other ways however and your discovery of Lynch implies his money comes from ticket sales at his gigs.
Fine. Who needs to sell physical albums with millions of You Tube views?
I remind you of that Chocolate Rain video (search for it on You Tube and check how many views he's had without, I suspect, any music sales at all).
The world is changing. Be aware or die!

That is an interesting point actually, going back to yesterdays point about young people liking musicals.
At the Sheperds Bush Empire, you could barely hear the man as the kids knew every word and sang along.
Also of note is this guy hardly sells any albums, the word seems to have spread due YouTube and the sheer weight of footage on there. A very large cult indeed.

Very funny and oddly reminiscent of the Rocky Horror Show songs!
