Rumors and innuendo are swirling around small record label, INIO Music, concerning the digital distribution of its catalog of rare and treasured music. All calls to INIO have been diverted to overseas call centers in an effort to ease the stress of the young secretaries and assistants who had been pulling phone duties in addition to their usual tasks of keeping the harried executives at INIO focused on the task at hand: music for the sake of music.
CEO Paul Kelly has been telling everyone who will listen for months that the record industry is dead, kaput, kerfluey and wasn't it a shame. "What the hell is it with these kids these days? All they want to do is ride them slateboards (sic), huff gas, and steal music." Indeed. So there was nothing else to do but face the onslaught up front, like men, for good or ill, and give the people what they want: MP3's. Mr Kelly, a renowned patron of the arts, benefactor of musicians, technicians, engineers, and other disreputable characters, has always just wanted to make a dollar and a cent in the record business, while eating lollipops, etc... this is only natural and is good. Aside from the fact that he, being a southern gentleman, and never rising before noon, and then taking a while to recover from the beating he gave himself the night before, yes, hard living comes too easy for this giant of a man, he is, in fact, a go getter. A bonafide man of action, making plans, carrying them out...it is quite impressive to see. A veritable who's who of the entertainment and golfing industries are constantly in touch: Blackberry, IM, email, cell phone, Bluetooth...the whole modern day horror story of electronic gadgets...but he handles it with grace and good humor as he makes his plans with these people...his people. "No one even considers the fact that there are honest people who enoy a well constructed, original, and daring performance on the guitar or saxophone anymore. I aim to change all that. How low does a country have to sink before someone will produce the kind of music that made this the greatest country in the entire history of our nation? Jesus Krist, I can't stand it anymore!" Well, hell yes, why not. Bold words, from a rare and dangerous mind. Kelly's attorney was quoted as saying that there would be many and high legal fees and that he had advised Kelly aginst anything to do at all with the music business. copywrite 2007 Associated Pressure
