The President has signed the Music Modernization Act, so to celebrate here's a rebroadcast of the episode in which the Senate finally got together to pass this bill. Congratulations to SiriusXM for coming around and being on the right side of history, and to the many artists who will finally be properly compensated for all the joy they bring to us (and all the music they provide SiriusXM and others)!
Episode description, from original broadcast date September 21, 2018:
After the "stinging" rebuke from this podcast (Episode 26 - You Can't Be Sirius XM), as well as over 150 musicians, SiriusXM finally caved and dropped their opposition to the Music Modernization Act. They've joined their peers, and the entire U.S. Congress and Senate, in allowing fair pay for the artists whose work enables their businesses to exist.
Time to celebrate that great news, as well as the continued growth of the Matt Sager Podcast, for which I have to thank my friends, and every one of you listening. I can't tell you how much it means to have my old job back, with the support of broadcast services, peers and listeners, and only myself to go over my shows and critique them, instead of a pint-sized P.D.
"Shake that Ass Bitch" performed by Splack Pack, and featured on the Rick and Morty episode "Ricksy Business."
