The modern music scene was born at Woodstock in 1969, where half a million fans, dozens of artists, and the politics of the times came together in a big bang that would eventually generate billions of dollars. Over the last twenty years, however, MTV, compact discs, corporate consolidation, Internet piracy, and greed have contributed to a perfect storm for the recording industry. Frontline talks with musicians, record industry insiders, and journalists in an examination of the forces that have helped push the music industry to the verge of collapse.
