Kristin Hersh has no sympathy for failing music industry
Kristin Hersh has little sympathy for the issues in the gloabal record industry insisting that 'music should always have been free'.
The music industry is suffering will plunging profits as a result of cheap downloads and illegal online file-sharing.
But Throwing Muses frontwoman Hersh is not bothered byt the lack of money being made by labels through record sales because she feels it has been brought on by the big industry bosses themselves.
She speaks with Uncut magazine: "Music should always have been free. Making money out of it is what has created these quasi-televangelist rock stars.
"What has been killing music, what has devalued it, is style over substance. The industry might not have collapsed had they not decided that only lowest common denominator bulls**t would make money and was worth investing in."
