Music shouldn't be based around money or politics. Music should be a bunch of people that really do great songs together doing them together for the pursuit of having a good time.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't think music should be played anywhere near politics. The two don't go together.
In America, there's more of the question, should music be political or should it just be for entertainment purposes, whereas around the world that's not even an issue. I think people just assume that music should be everything.
The music business is motivated by money. Music is motivated by energy and feelings.
This isn't about the money. This is just for me. I love music.
The music is fun and all that, but first and foremost it is a business, it's about money.
The greatest music is made for love, not for money.
Music and the music business are two different things.
Today, music is great for entertainment, but it is lacking soul; it's lacking substance, and it's difficult to find good stuff. There are too many corporate interests. It's not about the actual music because it's about the corporation, and music just becomes part of a package.
If you give a good performance, something that gets some feeling across to people, that's such a rare gift. It's underestimated at this point in history, when the music biz is inevitably turning into a kind of politics.
I don't find music being less important than, like, politics.
