It isn't much of a stand to say that 'The Wire' is the best show that television has ever seen, but I'm making it anyway. That show was perfection and took a complex subject, like the decline of an American city and brought it to life by showing all the angles and organizations that enabled its destruction. Let's see if they can do the same for the following subject...the music industry. Yes, another complex story about decline is on the horizon as the makers of the 'The Wire' has optioned Appetite for Self-Destruction: The Spectacular Crash of the Record Industry in the Digital Age, a book by Rolling Stone writer Steve Knopper. And as us music fans know, there is a wealth of failings to choose from. Just think, you can meet another 531 characters, see some crying over sold leer jets and watch as executives try to bully new artists into 360 deals. Bring it, makers of the Wire. Music lovers need a holy grail show just for them.
