Well...I'm not sure if you call 56 of 110 of the 51st Grammy Awards Domination but over 50% is officially a majority. The American Association of Independent Music reports:
"The continued growth of independent music is underscored by the success of independent artists and labels at this year's Grammy's. Music released by artists on independent labels scored 56 Grammys Sunday night out of a total of 110 awarded including Album of the Year and Record of the Year (Robert Plant & Alison Krauss), Best Alternative Music Album (Radiohead), Best Reggae Album (Burning Spear), Best Comedy Album (George Carlin) and Best Jazz Instrumental Album (Chick Corea & Gary Burton). Last year, independents won 36 awards."
Some people are asking the question, but I am making it a statement: This is the uprising of the Musical Middle Class. This is the time when production and power is being put into the hands of the people. This is the time when people, not corporations, both choose and make the music we listen to. Will you be part of the Revolution or just read about it in the History Books?
