It's the same type of question.  Your query contains an implicit assumption 
which is demonstrably false but which makes it impossible to respond with a 
Yes or a No.
 
> "Why wait for great musicians to be signed by the 5 majors (which 
guarantees it to sound like everything else they record ..."
 
Tom, you do not speak the truth.  Either you are so incredibly ignorant of 
how the business works or else you are a simple liar.
 
> "... and guarantees payment from an indy promoter in major stations) ..."
 
Tom, you do not speak the truth.  Either you are so incredibly ignorant of 
how the business works or else you are a simple liar.
 
> "... somehow music has to be sanctioned by one of the 5 old men ..."
 
Tom, you do not speak the truth.  Either you are so incredibly ignorant of 
how the business works or else you are a simple liar.
 
> "Does every musical program director think that he is limited to only 
what  the 5 old men pre-select for him to play?"
 
Tom, you do not speak the truth.  Either you are so incredibly ignorant of 
how the business works or else you are a simple liar.
