I mean is this it?!?
All I see and hear now is how record sales are down, torrents here, download there.
This band calling it quits, starting a fashion line etc etc...
So what happened to good ol making music, making money and supporting yourself from it?!

Is the music industry just over, and those who have carved somewhat of a nitch, or has the connections will continue to move forward?! Or should musicians and artists just create music now for the love with absolute no means of making it, because from what I see, unless your Lady GAGA or Taylor Swift, your chances are better to be a drag queen working on the weekends in a dive bar?!

Any opinions?!
