What's most interesting to me about this piece is everything except for the Gaga Drama itself. 20 years ago if you would have told someone that it takes 8 weeks to get a release date and a huge chunk of money/time to cut a track, probably no one would be impressed. If you also said "We wrote, recorded and published (to a few million people) within a few days" people would have gone nuts and thought you were Michael Jackson. How on earth could you get it done so fast? But today kids on are making music that rivals the quality of the MP3 Al posted to Youtube for peanuts... and they're the amateurs! That's what amazes me. You can make similar quality music and get exposure more quickly and to more people than signed artists and you're still considered the amateur. Also very interesting is Al's sense of ethics. Great guy.
