Wahoo! Let's hear it for corporate behemoths! And to think there was a time when regional and local labels drove the music biz, like Chess, and Cobra... now it's all bean-counters and glad-handers, and even more legal minds finding ways to rip off the artists and the masses. This is NOT A GOOD THING kids! Oh, and Mick Jagger, WTF does Citigroup know about music? I ask that, because the banksters are the masters here, not the A&R guys, or the producers.
