I thought I worked in music, but I'm not so sure anymore. Where are the punks? Where are the rebels? Where are those who rage against the machine?

What's up with everybody wanting to approve the final text after doing an interview? Is nobody comfortable with speaking from the heart anymore? This climate in which all seem afraid to speak is bad. Don't be timid. Not everyone will agree. That's okay. It's real.

"I was surprised how easily we were willing to give our freedom to people we didn't know or elect." I had the pleasure of interviewing one of the nicest human beings I've met in this business, @Pohodaofficial founder Michal Kaščák. https://t.co/gbRqIDAzBZ

What a story. What an incredible story. One of the most fun and fascinating pieces I was fortunate enough to work on in my life as a music business journalist. Here's to another 50 years of @glastonbury. https://t.co/n3UAuu3H47 #glastonbury #glasto #glastonbury2020

"All the wonderful things that come along with working in this industry have a downside in themselves, because it also fosters the readiness of people to literally exploit themselves." What an insightful conversation with Prof. Dr. Katja Mierke https://t.co/BWgeDEs3yT

Always found it weird that streaming subs end up in one big pot to be forwarded to rights holders in an utterly intransparent way. I'm glad to read on @MusicAlly that @Deezer hasn't given up the fight for user-centric payouts. https://t.co/liFDB66tiQ
