    The music scene has totally changed but I don’t think university places are the culprit. What proportion of the kids that broke in to the scene that you mention went to university?

      With one or two exceptions, it’s mostly well-educated Art school or uni students. Certainly most of the “successful” British ones. Working class bands - especially those “manufactured” solo artists or groups - tended to get screwed by their managers and record companies (probably moreso today).
