Fits with another article you posted: middle-age folks are the last bastion of old-fashioned music consumerism. They account for most of the growth in legal-for-sale downloads, and are a growing segment of the CD buying population (because younger kids are buying even fewer CD's than they are these days.)
No wonder there's another wave of reissues and special anniversary editions coming out these days!
"Dadrock" (and "Momrock") -- the next music industry trend?
But also note from the article that ms. teenager is checking out a lot of stuff on myspace . . . I think the best way to reach kids is "direct over the internet" these days, and you really don't need a record label to do that.
