[JPL] NEW "NPR MUSIC" MULTIMEDIA SITE LAUNCHES TODAY

[Jim Wilke]

.... yet another reason to not go out and listen to live music or buy 
CDs?  This is an interesting juxtaposition to the previous "two critics 
discuss the state of classical, jazz and pop"   
http://www.slate.com/id/2177383/entry/2177384/

The argument is made that online music "exposes" more musicians to 
larger audiences they wouldn't otherwise reach, but then how does this 
benefit the musicians?  Will this "exposure"  buy a bag of groceries or 
pay the rent?

We live in interesting times.
