After John Mellencamp and Bob Dylan offered their thoughts on the the state of the music business recently, we asked for your thoughts on whether online album and concert ticket sales should be jettisoned in favor of a return to vinyl albums and box office ticket sales.
The results of our poll suggest that the answer lies in compromise. A third of you (34%) feel we should go back to "the way we were" entirely. Just 10% envision an all-digital future. The majority - 55% - believe there's some combination of the old and the new that can address the concerns on both sides of the issue.
Dylan's experiment last week with one-to-a-customer, cash-only, box-office-only ticket sales wasn't a financial success, but may well have accomplished its purpose. Dylan's "surprise" concert (announced just a week in advance) at the The Warfield in San Francisco was far from a sellout but the idea was well received by fans and the concert promoter.
