What will the new dream be? I just don't know.

i sorta see your point, in a you dont really know how the business works but like to think about what it would be like to have alot of success in it type way.
the truth is that dream was never there. its a shady business run by shady people with shady interests and always has been. go look at what happened to elvis. how his management treated him. or the beatles. they were swindled by shady fucks in suits who knew law and business practice. so they start their own record company, apple, and get fucked even harder with that whole mess.
platinum albums will always be around. superstars will always be around. big fancy recording studios will always be around.
money-grubbing middle-men suits with no talent making money off of the hard work and creativity of real honest people is whats getting the boot.
