The music business has changed incredibly. There used to be 50 record companies. Now there's only three, and it's just getting smaller and smaller. But then again, you have the Internet, so anybody who has music can get it out there.

And once the music is out there, when you're selling a record and selling music and people are going to do whatever they want with it, it's kind of hard to resist certain opportunities, especially in the record market now.

People are doing what they can these days and looking for creative ways to sell music.

If you're looking to make a basic living selling and playing your music, the Internet is all you really need.

I'm in the music business for one purpose - to make money.

Music is the one part of the entertainment business where you can't fool anybody into buying a record.

In a sense, the music business and I haven't always been the best of bedfellows. Artists often have to fight their corner. Your music goes through these filters of record labels and media, and you're hoping you'll find someone who'll help you get your work into the world.

I have known from the beginning one thing you need to know. That is, the music business is a business.

The only way to get ahead in the music business these days is to call up all your friends. To pool your resources.

I don't relate to what's left of the music business. There doesn't seem to be any point to it anymore. The business that I grew up in and loved, we made records a different way - there were record companies, there were stores where you could buy albums.
