The failings of capitalism, music deprivation 

Growing up, I wasn't given many options for discovering music. I had what was on radio, MTV, & VH-1. I never quite made the connection that the bands I saw had more than the few singles that were promoted & released on their own, or for a video. I wasn't deprived from music (dad got grumpy about swears, though.) It never dawned on me that I could acquire and experience a whole other side to acts that I enjoyed, the side the labels didn't tell me about
