Abstract Combines personal memoir, on-the-ground reporting, industry research, and cultural criticism to argue that commercial and cultural forces have laid waste to the cultural ecosystems that have produced decades of great American music. From the scorched-earth demonetizing of artist revenue accomplished by Spotify and its ilk to the rise of dead artists "touring" via hologram, Rowell examines how a perfect storm of conditions have drained a shared musical landscape of vitality.
