Buzz Watch: Gene Simmons and Bob Lefsetz Battle at CMWAuthored by Jay Baage on March 20, 2009 - 6:55am.
The highlight of Canadian Music Week 2009 (March 11-14) was appearantly the debate about the future of the music industry between Gene Simmons and Bob Lefsetz (clip embedded above, there is much more on YouTube). The news about the battle of the minds spread quickly all over the world, I was tipped off about the YouTube videos by Anders Hjelmtorp of Export Music Sweden. Well worth watching. Bob Lefsetz: Hannah Montana Ain’t That BigAuthored by Scott Goldberg on October 8, 2007 - 11:17am.
In a post from The Lefsetz Letter today, Bob discusses the artificial hype surrounding Hannah Montana and the Miley Cyrus 54-show concert tour. He argues that the ticket brokers have changed the game, now creating a fake shortage of tickets that raises the value of available seats on broker sites. Remember, online brokers like StubHub make money on the price of the sale, so the more a ticket goes for, the more they get paid; and hence, it would make sense for them to create artificially inflated prices.
