Agreed wholeheartedly there.
Payola goes on in one form or another. There 'may' not be cash money involved, but I've heard plenty of artists complain about how they couldn't 'ante' up enough to get on Clear Channel, or Cumulus's play lists. I've heard the same from country artists, and being blacklisted on country stations. That even happened back when Shania Twain first hit it big.
The record industry has some nerve to even bring this kind of shit up when they can barely keep the closet closed with all those skeletons.
