• "No wonder pop fans are singing the blues. Radio sounds like a broken record. CD prices are heading off the charts. Labels are out of tune with the digital age. New acts fail to strike a chord with listeners." -- USA Today, Any way you spin it, music industry in trouble

• "(Michael) Jackson said Wednesday he has aligned himself with the Rev. Al Sharpton and attorney Johnnie Cochran Jr., who earlier in the day announced they are forming a coalition to investigate whether artists are being financially exploited by record labels." -- AP, Michael Jackson Joins New Coalition
