Apple understands they’re in the artist business. Clearly, Google, Pandora, Spotify and Amazon don’t.

Apple and Spotify don’t threaten, they pay a fair wage. YouTube’s below market rates are a threat to artists’ livelihood.

Historic Hatch-Goodlatte music bill signed into law. Congrats to GMR writers Ryan Tedder, Smokey Robinson, all the supporters and my friends Senator Hatch and Representative Goodlatte for getting this done. Huge step for artists and writers.

Artists like Bon Jovi and Bruce are spending their time helping New Jersey with #Jersey4Jersey. You should too. Now is the time to help your citizens stay healthy, not kick Ticketmaster. When we are all safe, you should focus on cleaning up StubHub.

If selling ads doesn’t make enough money to pay artists, then it’s bad business. US vinyl sales generated more revenue than YT advertising.

Writers being asked to be paid fairly is not a dishonest PR campaign. It’s shining a light on practices that are anti-creator. Shame on @ASCAP @IMPaulWilliams.

Labels made deals with @YouTube out of desperation. It’s pennies & whack-a-mole. How can labels renew YT deals with so much artist pressure?.

Deacon Frey has devoted the past 4½ years to carrying on his father’s legacy and, after some weeks of reflection, he now feels that it is time for him to forge his own path. We understand, completely, and we support him in whatever he wishes to pursue in the years ahead.
