Where Has Good Music Gone?

I'll tell you where good music has gone to and that is to the underground music scene where the only way you hear about a particular good song or artist is through a live performance or word of mouth. The only outlets that "real" artist have nowadays is either college (community) radio or online radio because mainstream radio and the music industry deems their music not commercially viable because it refuses to follow the industry standard of dumbing it down for the masses. We have some talented artists like Alicia Keys, Maxwell, Jill Scott,etc that can be able to balance their artistic integrity along with having the product be commercially viable. Hopefully we can get that balance between music that is commercial and music that is "real" back soon because the kids of this generation are being forcefed music that is supposed to be hot by record companies and mainstream radio. Lets save the kids of this generation before it is too late.
