The one other thing I want to mention is that we must not forget that being a performing musician means a combination of recorded material and touring.

I see it as:

Recorded Material = Promotional Material

Touring or Performing = The Job

I think that is the way that Trent and Thom/RH treat it. Sell or give away an album of great songs. Make sure your tour is sold out.

I am sure many won't agree with me, and i know that some of those arguments will be valid. But my personal opinion is that musicians, like everybody else, should have to get out of bed and go somewhere to make money.

It's not all about sitting in your bedroom and recording an mp3, putting it on a web and selling hundreds of thousands, and getting rich.

I think sometimes, in this day and age of an over-abundance of product, we forget that all music is good. And what i mean to say is, even some of us here are working questionable material or productions of our own. But we will each think in our own minds that it is the shit.
