Oh Gee. I was all ready for you to list them.

Now I don't even know, if you included "They Suck".

Gee Whiz! I'd better make coffee, it's going to be one of those days.

Thank you.

I would say, that we, the Indies,

need to totally re-write the rules.

And I refuse to believe it can't be done.

There's someone out there, right now,
making lots of headway, re-writing the rules....

Bedeviling the hell out of puzzled onlookers......

isn't there.

an informative article...

here's a brief excerpt...


"94. Songwriters are often paid pennies for successful tracks, even top-charting songs on major streaming and internet radio platforms. In the latest episode, it was revealed that Kevin Kadish, writer of the smash hit ‘All About That Bass’ by Megan Trainor, made just $5,679 for 178 million streams.

95. Lower royalties are killing an entire generation of writers: according to one report, Nashville has lost more than 80 percent of its songwriters since 2000."

Ignore junk like that, not worth the time to read. just do. and go for it, learn the trade and hurdle the challenges that lie ahead, the secret is to persevere, but learn the biz and how it works, that 99 problems is for weaklings and that attitude will crush the ones who are easily defeated, before they even try, just press on

This one pissed me off. Dick Dale is a guitar god. The king of surf guitar. One of my all-time faves.

70. Many older artists are touring just to pay the bills, including medical bills. That includes Dick Dale, who remains on the road despite his advanced age to pay for treatment for rectal cancer, renal failure, and massive vertebrae damage.

I read 2 of them and then moved on. I stay away from negative shit like this. Life is what you make it. You can't allow outside views to dim you inner vision. Yeah, the music industry sucks but that is nothing new. It has always sucked for the majority of people who are in it for fame and glory. But those of us who do it because we love it know that anything else we gain besides the joy of doing music is a "Bonus".

I would not ignore this info. I think it is good to be aware of the realities of the biz.
