With that headline, I thought it was going to be about Simon Cowell or the CEO of one of the 3 corporations that own the rights to all music..

The music scene was the one single thing the UK had left

Simon Cowell will rot in hell with a burning chicken shoved up his colon

A full English is the best breakfast there is, so at least you still have that..

What's the difference between the Scottish and the English?

I'm speaking specifically about the breakfasts, mind you, not the people 😁

It lacks grits. Properly done grits make an English Breakfast that much better.

Indie music is a thing

I had no idea. Next you're going to tell me that indie MOVIES exist, or some such nonsense.

The game is very very much rigged. Most concert halls for example won’t even agree to allow a band unless it’s signed with a record label. So even if you’re super popular on by giving away your music for free, the game is setup to force you into a contract.

Read How Music Got Free - it's a book based about these same events.

Missed opportunity for his parents to call him Danny. Then he could say "I'm getting too old for this shit".

That line appeared in "To Live and Die in LA" in exactly the same circumstances two years before "Lethal Weapon". TLaDLA also had the first wrong way car chase that's now a staple of every action movie. It's funny how it was so influential in the industry but has so little lingering cultural impact.

That movies unexpected turn in the third act messed with my head.

TL;DR: It's about the warez "scene", specifically about music pre-releases. A decent read, but one you may have seen before.
