Music has become a huge mega business - with everyone from ticketron to the record companies taking big chunks - so that the artist gets relatively little. Instead of muscians playing at the pleasure of lords, the top musicians have become lords themselves. And 1/1000 of 1% make millions, and maybe 1/10 of 1% make a living, and the rest have day jobs and dreams - who pay out a lot more for equipment than they make. But I think the internet and MP3s will change that for the better - where more of us can be heard, and there is greater democracy. Just as we have with web blogs for people to share opinions and ideas, music will become more broad.
