| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." I’ll agree with that sentiment. The author of the article put it this way:"Yes, there have been a handful of futurists – H.G Wells, Aldous Huxley, and given the state of many current governments I would grudgingly include Ayn Rand. Probably the mo... | |
| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." @orpheus10 and @whart Much thanks for the kind words.@whoopycat "...he treats WWII as the beginning of time." I think that's just because that marks for him the beginning of his point of involvement with the industry and he was perhaps reluctant ... | |
| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." BTW Bill, my reference above to ’the lawyers that run the world’ was certainly not aimed at, or meant to resemble, you in any way. Some years ago I would’ve owned up to certain amount of perceived disdain on my part for the group I’m referring to,... | |
| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." @n80 Thanks for the link. They do indeed seem like a great band.@orpheus10 "Once those "newbees" who bought into cheap analog rigs, realize they have to pony up a few more K to run with the big dogs, they either pony up or fold. Since they don'... | |
| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." @orpheus10 @voiceofvinyl @n80 Thank you one and all for the last 3 posts here.n80 "As with the article I think it is too easy to confuse what the majority of the world thinks and does with the level of success and expertise that still exists and ... | |
| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." @orpheus10 Thanks for the arrogant history lesson that nobody wanted or asked for. | |
| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." ^^^ what geoff was saying, that is | |
| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." Actually that's pretty much the way I see it, too. But it didn't seem to matter much to me that the author supported unions more than I might have, or that he might have preferred analog to digital or whatever. I just was looking at what his views... | |
| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." Thank you, sir. | |
| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." Thank you both @whart and @simao Great posts and mostly either jibe with the article or what I may have already absorbed, but both your posts add greatly to the topic here and I'm grateful for your respective glimpses into your experiences. Thank ... | |
| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." Oh, I see that I missed that you moved away from the city since then. | |
| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." You mean you feel like you see fewer ’bigger name’ artists (in your locale) these days for the smaller bands to indirectly benefit from? | |
| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." But that landscape you describe keeps right on changing. EDM is booming now, in the living parts of the big cities, anyway. And as far you can see in reference to the names of performers you mention, when those people of that generation die out, d... | |
| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." @n80If your experience is that touring is sustainably vigorous then I’m inclined to take that as a reassuring sign, I think. But what I was talking about was not just that more bands are touring (which is true), but that, where 40 yrs ago they wou... | |
| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." If your son is a musician, then your opinion might be more valid than mine since you have a window into it that I don't. No one in my family is a practicing musician. "Will they pay for it or only want it if it's free?"I don't know. I mean there's... |
