Did Radiohead Get It Right?


Did Radiohead Get It Right? (Or: Right On!)?
Beloved by most all alternative rock music fans, we pose the question: did Radiohead get it right? Read the opinion: AHHH! Radiohead creates Internet Anarchy!
That is, for pure art, does the money really matter? Have they tapped into an alternative compensation system for art forms - such as music? Is this new and revolutionary (actually, the honor system is not that revolutionary) an alternative to capitalism, communism, and other ism's? At the Handbook, we normally don't "do" music, arts, and so on...unless the trend is so groundbreaking as to enter into the Global political discussion - such as this one. Always cutting edge, Radiohead appears to have taken the lead in reestablishing what great and good art has always been - for art's sake and not the sake of money. Indeed, alternative compensations have been revolutionized by alternative music and alternative art. That is the true value of art.
