According to Don McLean it already happened. But the producers of this film want to make sure there is no day that that the music dies. This movie is for anyone who is embarrassed about the current state of the music business, or as ?uestlove says in the movie, for people who know how to separate the art from the commerce in the music industry. Lefsetz would be proud.
I had never even heard of this film until I came across it on nedmusic.com. The filmmakers are using a grassroots marketing campaign by staging screenings in cities throughout the country rather than one major theatrical release. Sounds a bit like how true artists are discovered these days. One show at a time.

Meh.
While the film looks interesting, I feel like music-industry types have probably been saying that the biz is in decline since, well, the record was invented.
Hell, people back in the days of old were probably saying Beethoven was a cheap knockoff of Haydn or Mozart, but that those other two guys, Bach and Brahms, totally kick ass.
Just wait, people we mock today, the Ashlee Simpsons, the Gwen Stefanis, the The Killers(s) are people we will be singing along to in 15 years going "this shit is great." Much like what we do today to bands like the C+C Music Factory, The Cars and Snap! ("Police, stay off my back, or I will attack, and you don't want that."
