Just bought @ a used bookstore today:
Who Killed The Jingle (How A Unique American Art Form Disappeared)
by Steve Karman. Another outlet gone & replaced by bands & labels
licensing their catalogs. From good old Joey Levine's book jacket
comment: "For those in the business & those planning on entering it,
read it and weep".
