Have you ever wondered how 17 year old models get recording contracts when you're other busting your hump getting beer bottles thrown at you honing your craft? How about how music is chosen to be played on corporate radio forcing you to use places like Ioda and Tunecore because you know you music will never get picked up? How about why record companies love bands that look like dusche bags?

Before the Music Dies answers all those questions with interviews from the guy who wrote many of Jewel's songs, Dave Mathews, hilarious-but-honest commentary from Erika Badu, Eric Clapton, Elvis Costello, Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson and many others. Great intro with Ray Charles and Billy Preston. Narrate by Forrest Whitaker.
