I have been following The Lefsetz Letter for a couple of years now, and I can confidently say that he is one of the most knowledgeable men in the music industry. He knows the tricks of the trade, and is not afraid to call out on peoples' bull shit when it gets out of hand. (He always rips on Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, and major labels lol).I heard about his news letter a couple of years back when I was attending a music business program in LA. John Wesely, the guitarist from Porcupine Tree, was teaching one of the courses and mentioned to me Bob Lefsetz's newsletter and his zealous opinions.
Thousands of industry insiders and musicians subscribe to his newsletter, gaining insight from his informative and provocative works.
Here is a excerpt from his VMA review article:
"Madonna was narcissistic, Kanye demonstrated he knows no limits, the Michael Jackson tribute was lacking oomph, a neutered Russell Brand was strangely unfunny, but none of that truly mattered. What we saw last night was a television network that was once different, playing to a disenfranchised younger generation, employing the same damn playbook as the networks...Kings Of Leon were nominated, but they didn’t win. Because they’re not visual enough, on MTV it’s about train-wreck, not music."
If you are even considering making a career out of music, do yourself a huge favor and subscribe.
