Do you buy music?

He has a point though.

I'm entitled to nine separate opinions on any given topic.

Jackie Blue:
And, yet, all nine of them are always WRONG.

I've been living off music for years! And I don't even play an instrument!

So punk

Ryder:
The sad truth is that unless you're, like, the Decemberists or someone huge, you're money is made from shows. And to make money from shows, you need at least a *little* bit of fame, so you tour, and play crappy gigs for the sole purpose of getting out there into the public eye. If you know a successful band that started off making the same amount of money as they do now, I can promise you it's because it's full of "daddy bought me a Vespa" people buying their way into it. Either that or it's a boy band or something.

I don't understand how this is such widely accepted truth when so many bands not only fail to make money off a tour, but fail to make any money at all! Good bands, with songs I enjoy!
