This is a problem with society. Like punkgrrrlie said, its not just musicians who need to 'make a living', however, people seem to think that because they are 'artists' that they have to rise above making money to live off. They may just have families too.

When somebody does something, anything, not just becasue they love to do it, but becasue they don't wasnt to starve; well I think that lessens the joy of doing what you do.

Not just the musician should be above 'selling-out' their talents to make a buck, but the house builder too, and the factory worker and any other worker. Like the emancipated musician, I should be able too wake up in the morning and want to go to work for the sheer joy of doing it.

How can we expect the musician to give up music to get a 'real job', when the guy that loves to work at disney land can work there and also 'make a living'? This may sound far fetched, but I think people should be able to do what they want, and not have to look elsewhere just to survive.


It is not a problem in society, it is a product of society.
