When you look at what people consider success in the music industry, it's just terrible music.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Things can turn ugly so quickly in the music business, especially if you have an unexpected success.
It is never easy for anyone to have success in music.
Some people are the greatest people on Earth with good hearts and will get in the studio and make the most negative music in the world for the sake of success. That's what the music business does to you. That's what capitalism does to you.
Some people make their best music when life is horrible.
The nature of the music business is such that it's better to have a few chances for some things to be successful than just one, and that's kind of been my attitude all along.
There's something missing in the music industry today... and it's music. Songs you hear don't last, it's just product fed to you by the industry.
So many people equate money and success with happiness, especially in the music industry.
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.
It's unfortunate that music has become such big business.
Success is based on music, not where you're from.
