THE MYSTERIOUS WORLD OF MUSIC PUBLISHING

OF ALL THE FACETS OF THE MUSIC BUSINESS,PUBLISHING IS PROBABLY THE LEAST UNDERSTOOD.IN FACT I JUST READ AN ARTICLE YESTERDAY STATING THAT THE
FOUR BIG LABELS ARE FIGHTING IT OUT TO TRY AND GET AS MUCH PUBLISHING AS
THEY CAN AS A TACTIC TO BRANCH OUT OUT SO AS CD SALES RECEDE{20% THIS YEAR}THEY CAN MAKE UP FOR IT SOME WHERE ELSE.
VERY FEW OF THE BIGGEST BANDS AND ARTISTS IN THE WORLD OWN THIER PUBLISHING,IF THEY DO IT'S USUALLY A SMALL PERCENTAGE.EVEN FEWER OWN THE COPYRIGHTS,WHICH CAN BE VERY VALUBLE,AND ALLMOST NO MAJOR
LABEL ACT OWNS THE MASTER TAPES TO THIER MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR RECORDS.THIS MAY COME AS A SURPRISE TO YOU.BIG STARS PAY A HIGH PRICE TO BE BIG STARS.THERE ARE ALOT OF PEOPLE ON THE PAYROLL.
WHEN I WAS OFFERED A CHANCE TO SIGN WITH A PUBLISHING COMPANY I OPTED TO KEEP MY MUSIC.I CAN'T TELL YOU WITH ANY CERTAINY IF IT WAS THE BEST THING TO DO.BUT I WAS YOUNG AND I JUST DIDN'T LIKE THE IDEA OF HAVING TO GIVE AWAY PART OF WHAT I CREATED.BUT THAT'S HOW THE BUSINESS WORKS.YOU GIVE THEM A SLICE AND IT PAY'S BACK BECAUSE THEY CAN WORK
YOUR SONG CATOLOG-COMMERCIALS-MOVIES ETC. AND REALLY INCREASE YOUR
NET GROSS.
SO VALUBLE ARE SONGS THAT A LAWYER IN AUSTIN ONCE DESCRIBED THEM TO ME AS "YOUR GOLD" AND SHE WAS RIGHT.I LOST A SONG ONCE BY SENDING IT TO THE WRONG PERSON-THEY MADE VERY FEW CHANGES AND IT WENT TO
NUMBER TWO ON THE CHARTS AND ESTABLISHED THE ARTISTS CAREER.IT'S THE MOST CARELESS MISTAKE I'VE EVER MADE IN ALL MY YEARS IN THE BUSINESS AND ALSO THE MOST EXPENSIVE.THAT SONG PROBABLY MADE ABOUT 5 MILLION DOLLARS JUST FOR THE ARTIST.WHO KNOWS WHAT THE PUBLISHERS MADE.
NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS MORE CAREFULL AFTER THAT.
IT WAS THE MAIN REASON I WENT TO NASHVILLE.I WANTED TO LEARN ABOUT PUBLISHING.AND I LEARNED ALOT WHILE I WAS THERE.NASHVILLE MAY BE THE BEST TOWN TO SEE HOW PUBLISHING REALLY WORKS BECAUSE ALOT MORE ARTISTS DON'T WRITE THIER OWN SONGS.SO THERE'S ALOT OF PUBLISHING DEALS GOING ON ALL THE TIME.AND THIER ARE MANY MULTI- MILLIONAIRE SONGWRITERS WHOSE FACE YOU WOULDN'T RECOGNIZE AND WHOSE NAME YOU'VE NEVER HEARD.BUT IN NASHVILLE EVERYONE KNOWS WHO THEY ARE.
SO THAT'S WHY I DON'T WANT ANYONE GIVING AWAY ANY OF MY MUSIC UNLESS THERE IS A SPECIFIC PURPOSE BEHIND IT AND I HAVE GIVEN' THEM PERMISSION.WHEN THE ARTIST IS ALSO THE PUBLISHER SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO
LAY DOWN THE LAW."LOOK OUT BELOW" HAS RECIEVED PLENTY OF EXPOSURE OVER THE YEARS.IT'S BEEN ON FOUR DIFFERANT RELEASE'S AND IT'S NEVER BEEN OUT OF PRINT.IT'S THE SONG THAT STARTED MY CAREER 27 YEARS AGO.MY GOLD.

THE WEB-A PLACE FOR HATE?-YOU BET !

A FEW WEEKS AGO A FRIEND OF MINE WHO'S ONE OF THE TOP LEADERS OF
THE NORTHWEST MUSIC SCENCE(AND THE WORLD FOR THAT MATTER}SENT ME AN
ARTICLE THAT HAD APPEARED IN "THE NEW YORK TIMES" RECENTLY.THE ARTICLE
DELT WITH MUSICIANS AND THE INTERNET AND HOW IT HAS CHANGED THE MUSIC INDUSTERY BUT IT ALSO FOCUSED ON HOW CRAZY PEOPLE CAN GET WHEN YOUR
NEW PRODUCT IS DIFFERANT THAN YOUR OLD PRODUCT.IT'S A VERY PRECARIOUS
SPOT TO BE IN.WE WOULD ALL LOVE TO PLEASE EVERYONE BUT THERE IS JUST NO WAY YOU CAN.I'VE HAD A REALLY BAD EXPIERIENCE LATELY WITH A PERSON
WHO BELIEVES THAT HE HAS SOME SAY IN MY PERSONAL DECISIONS.AND ALL THE
ARTISTS IN THE ARTICLE HAD HAD MANY SIMULAR EXPIERIECES.SOME OF THESE PEOPLE MAY JUST BE INNOCENT FANS VENTING HONEST FEELINGS BUT SOME OF THE RANTINGS,LIKE THE ONE'S I AND SOME OF THE OTHER ARTISTS MENTIONED THEY RECIEVED SOUND LIKE THE PSYCHOTIC RAMBLINGS OF A DERANGED PYCHO-PATH.THEY ARE STALKING ON THE WEB.LIKE THE GUY THATS BEEN FOLLOWING ME.
IT'S CREEPY.EVERYWHERE THERE IS A MENTION OF ANY THING TO DO MY
NAME,OR ANYTHING TO DO WITH ME THERE HE IS WITH HIS SAME INSANE RANT.
WHILE I SUPPORT FREE SPEECH.I DO THINK PEOPLE WHO RUN BLOG SITES AND SEARCH ENGINES, OR ANY SITE HAVE A DUTY TO LOOK OUT FOR PEOPLE WHO MAY BE NUT CASES.THAT CONTINUELY STALK THE SAME ARTIST WITH INARTICULATE
PSYCHO RAMBLINGS.
IN THE MEAN TIME I'D LIKE TO THANK ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN
SUPPORTIVE OF ME-IT MEANS ALOT. P. HOLLY 5/27/2007
