When you add Ticket Master, Live Nation, Front line Management together you get Springsteen, the Eagles, Garth Brooks and many more Heal the World Artists doing exclusive deals with Wal-Mart. Monopoly on ticket sales, CD/DVD sales, is not good for the buying public. These same artists say one thing and do another, just like Wall Street has screwed up and caused a global financial nightmare, we now see the Wal-Mart bands destroying what is left of the music business. A Free Market System is not a monopoly.</p> It seems like a new music industry cartel in the making.
