However, as Tom McRae tells Suite101 in the final part of our interview with him, the truth is often a far different kettle of fish. <br />Tom: Well, the trouble is, the people who do buy music are the 35-45 year olds but they&rsquo;re only buying a certain kind of music, and they&rsquo;re not really buying any new music, and they&rsquo;re also a dwindling audience. Then you have the kids, who aren&rsquo;t buying music, and they&rsquo;re the lifeblood of the industry. And in a way, it serves the industry right, because they&rsquo;ve exploited 15-year old girls and that&rsquo;s come back to bite them. If you exploit a person, that&rsquo;s what&rsquo;s going to happen, you&rsquo;ll end up with shit product &ndash; what did they think was going to happen? So, we&rsquo;ll see &ndash; maybe we&rsquo;ll all be flipping burgers at a place <br />Tom McRae interview <br />Suite: And the industry&rsquo;s so languine at the moment, how do you change it, right? <br />Suite: Now that King of Cards is out Air Force 1 Low Shoes, what are your hopes for it, and how will that determine what the future holds for you? <br />Tom: Well, before the record came out, the label sat me down and told me they&rsquo;d already f***ed it up. It was too late to save Nike Air Force Ones Shoes, and they weren&rsquo;t going to do anything because they&rsquo;d be wasting money. So it was a case of “we&rsquo;re really sorry and good luck”, and I haven&rsquo;t heard from them since. So everything we did from then, from promoting to paying for the tours, we did ourselves. I kind of half respected their honesty in admitting they got it wrong; but honestly, I&rsquo;ve got zero expectations. It&rsquo;s got a couple of songs being licensed for some TV shows over here which means some people might hear it, but I expect to sell 2,000 or 3,000 copies Air Force One, maybe 20,000 if I&rsquo;m really lucky. But I do have zero expectations on it after what happened. I mean, half my fans don&rsquo;t even know I&rsquo;ve got a new record out! <br />Tom: Yeah, I could get angry about it, but what can I do? I haven&rsquo;t got &pound;250,000 to market it properly, but I have got a mate in a car who&rsquo;ll drive me up and down the country, you know (laughs)? It&rsquo;s a bit Pollyanna-ish, but you&rsquo;ve got to do whatever you can. The industry really doesn&rsquo;t know anything anymore, and I&rsquo;m not even joking. I was talking to a guy at a big, big label in New York the other day and he was getting out to join the police force, because the industry is done &ndash; there&rsquo;s no way they can figure out how to make it pay anymore. <br />Read on <br />Tom McRae Interview: Fame & Tours <br />Tom McRae Interview: Media Blues <br />Tom McRae Interview: Politics</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="http://picsrv.fora.pl/Boyz/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
