A brief but thought-provoking book. Now I want to write my own music manifesto!

A few specific points. First, Brennan is concerned almost entirely with popular (whatever that is) music in the USA. Being neither American nor particularly interested in popular music, I found some of it irrelevant - but a surprising amount hit home!

Article 53 concludes, "The antidote to damning or idealizing the world through generalized and exaggerated labels is to describe discrete actions in detail. For example, 'He was throwing plates and screaming violently,' not, 'He is a violent preson.'" Brennan would have done well to apply this more in the rest of the book.

This copy is marked as available, and I intend to pass it on or release it when I have written my own manifesto.

Edit to add: Here is a very different view of the industry: Write a Tune for £1000
