MISSED OPPORTUNITY
In the current issue of the Atlantic, James Parker wonders: “Has rock history ended, its glorious teleology exhausted?” Unpack and expand please. Some quotes from Harmonix principals and history of the game’s evolution from Japanese models, there are many more, and far bigger questions than asked here. For example: Is Aerosmith (or Metallica or Your Band Here) exploiting the game or does the game exploit the band? What are the revenue shares like? When will a new band BREAK across the game sector? Who will Rock Band’s Nirvana be? How does video gaming music affect radio? MTV? Where is the requiem for MTV, why it rose, why it dove? Will iPhone games soon overtake the home model, and how will that affect the music?
