money and the music

True the music can set you free, but only so far without money. Money for an album money for copy writes, equipment, gas, new equipment, promotion(self, radio, and event), Murphy's Law, and many other expenses along the way.

If you think long and hard about why you don't hear your favorite underground band on the radio. The answer in simply money. Everyone wants to make it to the top, but there is only enough money at the top to sustain so many artists. Take Nashville for example they have the to push about 30 artist at a time. 20 of those thirty are sure to be in the top 20 countdown. They only save the millions it take to promote these artists for the sure bets.

One of these days i too will have money to promote and record a new cd. Until then its beans and cornbread, natty's and fritos.
