SSL bought by Peter Gabriel

I love the idea of artist getting into the money of it.

David Bowie went public, Moby was marketed through advertising, Thomas Dolby is now in the technology end of things. This can only be good for the creative community long term. Most corporations are all about the bottom line, but when the artists themselves are in the corporate mix, this suggests to me that other artists are going to be better catered to.

Only an artist who knows how it is to deal with the corporate players, is really in a position to understand how a corporation may best serve the artist. I think this means good things down the road. Could very well mean that artists will actually be able to have ownership of their own work, theoretically speaking.

Blessings,
Damon
