Musicians making money · PACKERSHOME

OK, I won't derail the Netflix thread any more.

Zero - You seem hung up on being right. I want to be wrong here.

So the possibilities:
1) Ms. Love is right. Musicians are all broke or on the verge of going broke and the site Pack93z posted is incorrect,

2) Ms. Love signed a horrible contract and is bitter. Musicians actually CAN make a fortune and Pack93z's link is proof of that.

I'm sincerely hoping it's #2. If so, I'll be elated. Believe me, the absolute LAST thing I want to believe is Ms. Love.

I can imagine it is probably a bit of both.

I am sure there are musicians, so primed for the "life", that hop into the sack with a label / agent that is going to take them for what their worth.

I am sure there are labels that reward their talent, and pay their artists a decent cut of the total revenue.

And I am sure there are musicians, that get a decent share of the revenue that are piss poor managers of money and run through it like water out of a facet. Bling, drugs, and trips to the clubs of Vegas that eat away at their wallet faster that most of the singles rise and fall in the music scene.

Now.. just because I believe that there is money to be had in the business for the artists.. doesn't mean that I believe that they are getting a fair cut of the jack like say athletes do.

Just I find it hard to believe that less than mainstream artists that have millions in the bank that there isn't opportunity for most that make it to syndicated radio and decent tours.

Who cares if they are broke. They are the most undeserved pussy-getting-sons-of-bitches on the face of the Earth. Well, next to Ben Roethlisberger and Lyle Lovett, that is.

Whatever happened to that show Behind the Music on VHI? Musician makes money, gets hooked on heroin, loses everthing, looks like a bucket of shit, some angel sticks him in rehab, makes a new album, and ends up on reality tv. God Bless America.

Yeah, Forbes I'd actually believe.

Pack - I think you're right. I think it's a matter of both.

But one question I have. Why do rappers make more money than everyone else in the music industry? Rap? Come on.

(As for DakotaT, does he want ANYONE to be rich?)

I want whatever programming gigs you're getting. That's some serious cash flow for being a code monkey to be topping those bums.

Look at the Google guys. Those guys make all those pop stars look poor. Heck, Google probably has several hundred guys who make U2 look broke.
