Short story:

A news item in today's edition of The New Musical Express (NME) music paper in the UK, notes that a number of concert promoters, including Harvey Goldsmith, Barry Dickins, Rod MacSween and John Giddings have begun announcing major gigs on tv or in mainstream newspapers, rather than using the traditional method of announcing such shows first in the music press. The latest Bruce Springsteen gigs, for example, were announced on BBC-2 tv show The Old Grey Whistle Test. This, according the NME, amounts to "treating us as their servants".
