This is something that more kids aspiring to be in the music business need to hear and participate in. They need to understand the music business is pretty much identical to every business in that it requires extremely hard work and considerable know-how. Too many believe it’s a skate or a never ending party. Even with all the news about how mp3s and downloading have destroyed it, the image of the industry is one of boundless opportunity. There is opportunity, but it’s an opportunity only the most cunning, ruthless and charismatic get access to. I’m not saying the music business encourages cynicism and amorality–I’m saying at the deep end of the pool, all of them do.
Study hard kids.
