Original thought is so exhausting
Why bother when you can make bank being lazy? For EONS the music business hasn't been about music. I majored in Music Business so I got the pleasure of learning all about how to screw musicians (aka people like me) out of as much money as humanly possible.
It's since become more tour related to make money, but she'll make a killing off of barely lifting a finger (music wise).
If you want REAL music and musicians, you go to local clubs and coffee shops. Those are the actual musicians that put their heart and soul in to shit. Everything else is 90% visual and image and 10% actual musical work. Which 8% of that 10 is ripping off other material and slapping a different drum machine beat behind.
It's tragic, really.
