c'mon Reno. Art can't be a commodity? anything people are to pay for is a commodity. and people are more than willing to pay to listen to GREAT music, and even pay greater sums to watch less than great music live. Why should any type of artist, let alone a musical artist with talent that drives the world..... expect to not be paid for their talents?
business is partly defined by, what people are willing to pay for. Supply and Demand
the cream rises to the top.
without business in music, you'd be listening to the ten best garage bands that live within 3 miles of you, for the rest of your life
