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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
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.
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.
There are moments when great music can be the greatest service and charity.
When you begin to see the possibilities of music, you desire to do something good for people, to help humanity free itself from its hang-ups.
It's almost charity work, what people have done, turning other people on to my music.
After my touring life, I'd love to be more involved with charity. It gives me a lot of fulfillment, you know? I would love to get people who are into my music more active in charity work. In the future, when I have more time, I'd love to do spend more time on that.
The music business is motivated by money. Music is motivated by energy and feelings.
It takes a lot of selfish time to make music.
I think musicians are always very generous in promoting anything good they hear. It's just kind of in our nature.
