Subterranean Record Store Blues Mike Cote BoulderNews.com January 26, 2003 With apologies to Bob Dylan, here's a little ditty about the music industry. Johnny's in the basement Downloading some Eminem I'm down on the pavement Wondering where the music went The man in the trenchcoat Says he won't play a note Radio says it won't cough Unless he gets paid off Lookout out kid We know what you did We know when And you'll be doing it again You better stop burning CDs Hide all your MP3s The man in the record store Old dinosaur Want 20 dollars bills You only got 10. Sam Goody makes a stand Trouble in Musicland No more lucky seven Wherehouse Chapter 11 It's all junk anyway Tom Petty please hear him say There goes the last D.J. Who plays what he wants to play Lookout kid Don't matter what you did Fill up your hard drive Music will survive Say goodbye to Hilary And Hollywood distillery Keep a blank disc Watch the Net frisk You don't need an MBA To know who gets the death kiss Mayday DataPlay Can't seem to find a way Don't know, hard to say If anyone will ever pay Napster, Gnutella Industry rubella Crack down, smack down Send teenagers to the pound Lookout kid You're stealing their hit And hackers, stealers Net dealers Get films before theaters Guy in the cesspool Just became the new fool Don't cry for his need Victim of his own greed Bluegrass, cool jazz Rap, soul, rock 'n' roll Dance hall, hip-hop Miss my old record shop LP, cassette, 8-track Buying cutouts from the rack Twenty years of CDs And now they're gonna get the sack Lookout kid You just flipped their lid Rather rip, mix and burn Than give them all that you earn Careful upgrading Easy on trading Don't wanna choke the noose On your golden goose Your singers won't sing 'Cause they see their paychecks fading Adapted from Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues"* from his 1965 album Bringing it all Back Home, available in fine record stores everywhere.* bouldernews.com
