An Open Letter To The Music Industry

By now, almost all of you who read the trades must have a pretty good idea as to the identities of the musicians who (a) are; (b) were; (c) might be; performing together as "FAITH".

1. To those of you who had the true dedication to your profession by programming and playing "FAITH" on the basis of its music (not the historical background of its sidemen):

Thank you. You won't be forgotten - by me, by the group, or, much more importantly, by your listeners.

2. To those of you who "had it figured from the beginning":

Congratulations. Your foresight is awesome, since even we didn't know until a few weeks ago who was in and who was out, especially when one of the members almost missed his chance to both record or tour due to his unexpected hospitalization. How- ever, his overdubs are complete, the album is out, and he will be on the U.S. tour with the rest of the group.

3. To those of you who refused to have anything to do with the group or their record because you were "turned off by all the hype", just a word from another of your profession:

Think. Think of all the times you've been told that "The business is dying"; "There's no store traffic"; "We don't have enough headliners"; all of which is true, to a degree.

If business is dying, then you have helped it along by ignoring the "FAITHs" for what they stand for. As from any other living thing, you must somehow give back what you take. The business truly cannot survive if you continue to take only what you like --Bill Graham proved that when he closed the doors to the Fillmore because he didn't like what the public liked and the public, with its bizarre need for a "cause", is still very much the majority.

We, however, on this side of the entertainment industry, have become almost extinct by our stubborn refusal to re -populate our business with excitement, and every programmer, disc jockey, station manager, music critic, concert promoter and rack -jobber in America still aren't enough to sell-out a single show at Madison Square Garden. It's true --we don't have enough store traffic and we with don't have enough headliners. We need the Alice Coopers -X with their pythons and guillotines; we need the David Bowies with their spaceships and spiders; we need the Bette Midlers we their unabashed energies and fabulous send-ups, just as Presleys, needed (and still need) the Beatles, the Stones, the who helped the Sinatras, the Grand Funks, and all the others with so much excitement to. re-populate our entertainment industry and so much business before them.

a lot of money out of the As for me, I admittedly take back into the business. business. I also put a lot of money out Everyone takes much enjoyment, happiness and excitement c agäî' of the business --only you can help us put i 4ve/faith,
