It's all about those dollars these days.



These days? It's always been about the money. If music is their living, nobody does anything without getting paid, would you? Can't eat air, ya know.

I don't know Trax, why do people make a comment like this? It sounds like making money is a bad thing. Dude, it's the only thing at least until you've become so rich it doesn't matter any more.

Over at the Keyboard Corner forum there's a discussion about Chick Corea taking a gig doing the music for the remake of Grease or Let's Get Physical, can't remember which now. Whatever, most feel he's doing it because he needs the money. Corea is an icon to a lot of us keyboard players but with all he's done, he's never been at the rock star level selling 50 million albums or anything close to that. He probably needs the gig and now there's these comments about how he's selling out, what about his art, blah, blah.

Bob, you are exactly right! I'm always amazed when someone talks about how Fleetwood Mac sold out or Eric Clapton sold out. But that's silly! They were always doing it for the money (and maybe for the love of music too) and that's as it should be!
