Yes but that happened around 1971. LOL Rubin is right but really it was technology (and the record companies' reaction to it) that killed the music biz. They don't sell a physical product anymore and they don't charge enough for downloads to make up for that loss. Simple as that. Accounting.
These days, with corps ruling the day, it's 100% about the numbers.
