I read a commentary this morning about the music industry. It was lamenting that bands are struggling to make money. The writer said that bands which were riding around on a big tour bus, are now having to drive in a van. I am not saying these folks should not be able to make a living doing music or that they should necessarily be giving what they do away for free, but I don’t really think I feel sorry that they are not racking in millions either. Back a few years ago bands would make millions of dollars and do what with it? Trash hotel rooms, spend it on drugs and cars to wrap around telephone poles. I do not feel sorry for people who have no idea what to do with money. Perhaps it will keep them off the streets. I am not saying that every band or every person in the music industry is doing this I am saying that just like other businesses and industries, technology has changed them forever. Talk to me about the three-year apprenticeship I did in a trade which is gone! Like many others after the business changes some are left out while others figure out the new economy and move forward. The music industry had its heyday and now it is gone. There will always be those in music and new and creative folks will continue to make it, it just may be that there are a lot less millionaires in the game.
