1. He's a niche artist who signed with a major label, a situation that
always ends in tears.
2. See #1
3. See #2
4. See #3
5. See #4
Blame mp3s all you want ("Nobody's buying CD's. Everyone's file-swapping
instead." Well, hell, I wish someone had told me that before I dropped over
$500 at Amoeba SF last week. I could have saved that money!) and use a
nearly-three-years-out-of-date whipping boy if you must (so when exactly
was the last time you heard a new Backstreet Boys single on the radio,
then?), but the simple situation is that he was a fool to sign with Time
Warner in the first place and he's paying the price for it now.
