...concert business booming louder than a Marshall stack? Partly it's a turn in the fashion cycle from dance music - with its DJs, clubs and records - to live shows.

Despite a threefold increase in digital-music revenue from downloads, global-retail revenues from recorded music fell a further 2% in 2005; overall the figure is down 20% since 1999. That crisis has seen a wholesale revamping of the music-business model. In the old days, sending a band on tour was seen as a necessity...

Little wonder that on Tuesday, the President reasserted his support for the embattled secretary, telling reporters, "I hear the voices, and I read the front page, and I know the speculation.
