What happens in the music business is that if you step out of your little spot to do something else, the sand falls right into where you stood and you're gone, you're history.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The first thing you learn about the music business is that it changes very quickly. You come into it at a certain point and you think you have a handle on it... And then, three years later, the whole thing has been turned upside-down.
I have known from the beginning one thing you need to know. That is, the music business is a business.
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.
The music becomes something that is its own entity.
I've always treated the music business as a business.
I may quit the music business someday, but never the music.
The bricks and mortar of the music business, they don't exist any longer.
Unfortunately, music devolved instead of evolved. The music business got into the hands of lawyers and accountants rather than the entrepreneurial creative people, and that's when the beginning of the end started. It's all based on money instead of art and creativity.
When you leave the planet, you leave music behind.
Music and the music business are two different things.
