It was the best!
Fuck the sixties!
It was alive, happening, and ours.

thats the choice every artist has to face. depends on
how deep into the beast you want to go. I know several
people who are accomplished buskers. They don't fuck
with the industry at all, and can still earn a living
from doing what they enjoy most.
You could also sell your own cassettes by mail order.
BUT the minute you sign a "recording contract" with a
major label they *are* looking at turning you into "the
next moby" or similar. They're businesses, not artistic
co-ops. Which is a shame, I agree.

grin, hardly.
1. it's an emotional expression mechanism.
2. satisfaction from people who've listened and enjoyed.
3. they look good on the racks.
Music is the the universal language of Babylon!
