Even though it's become a really cliched thing to see musicians working for charity, it's still effective and it still has to be done.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think musicians and artists are the most philanthropic people I know. Their charity record of the music business would hold up to the work of anybody.
Why do musicians give so much time to charitable causes? The most humanitarian cause that we can give our time to is the creation and performance of music itself.
It's almost charity work, what people have done, turning other people on to my music.
I think musicians are always very generous in promoting anything good they hear. It's just kind of in our nature.
There are moments when great music can be the greatest service and charity.
Music and philanthropy have a long, benevolent relationship with one another. Record bins are rife with charity singles, and concert history is filled with benefit shows for every imaginable cause. Musicians like to give back.
The music business is one of a few places where everything you've heard about it seems entirely cliche, but it's true.
For too long, musicians have been the greatest enemy of music. Their lack of desire to proselytize is a kind of betrayal.
The public is usually slow to catch on to new things, and it's important that musicians stick to their guns and not look for that instant gratification.
One of the best things about Kickstarter and crowdfunding and the collapse of the music business is a lot of artists like me have been forced to face our own weird mess about ourselves and what we thought it meant to become musicians.
