As a thought experiment, it's fun. As a jab at Radiohead, it's ludicrous. I agree with you, Dave, but I also find it interesting to take the extreme view in the midst of the changes that are afoot.

Yes if *if* we lost the machines and electricity we would of course not be able to play any music except on instruments as before. We always manage to make music. I left this for Jay on his post - Jay, your article seems a bit negative especially when you resort to calling Radiohead selfish. I believe we are moving toward a time when people will enjoy live music, and the gathering that entails, much more than ever before. The mp3 has reduced music to a commodity in certain areas but that doesn't mean that music's value is any less than it was before. As Thom Yorke and David Byrne discuss in Byrne's Wired mag article, music has value beyond the way it is delivered. Radiohead wanted to stop music companies valuing the delivery system over the relationship that we as homo sap have to the music. As for music being different, for better or worse, in times of peace I'd say maybe but given we are not in a time of peace currently who amongst the musicians is currently speaking out? Roy,
