Topic: Bob Lefsetz

I discovered Bob Lefsetz newsletter 2007 or 8. He is a music industry commentator. He has a huge mailing list and it is a who's who of musicians, agents, industry execs. His observations of the evolving music industry away from labels and terrestrial radio airplay was and still is cutting edge. Back when Gnarls Barkley track Crazy was huge he was trying to make a point that the genres of music and sub genres made it difficult to have a breakout hit in universally but Crazy seemed to be one that did. He asked people to send him tracks of what we thought were great songs. I sent one of my favorite tracks of Joe's at the time. Bob mentioned it and noted that Joe was a talent for sure but if his vocals were better he would already be a star. Well Bob seems to be fully on board the Joe train. https://lefsetz.com/wordpress/2020/08/0 … y-goodbye/
