I never thought musicians were rippin...5%...Yikes.<br /><br />I never thought musicians were ripping people off since there are so many other people involved in making the music and putting it out in stores. Also, I don't begrudge other people's success. I can see how music and musicians are hurting these days. <br /><br />I miss the rock gods.

But today I have friends who were once successful musicians and are now trying to still make some sort of living through music. It's nearly impossible to make much money through recorded music, so live performances are just about all they have left, and that doesn't pay as well as you'd think. Most iconic artists looking back are now saying if they'd had to make it in the music business today they don't know how they'd do it. Many are having issues with the labels they recorded through going under, leaving no legal team to defend their copyrights. Thus, their income from their old songs is suddenly just gone. It's a surprisingly real crisis.Emilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18243427784399799169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7353600278186159183.post-38767121767237557002013-06-12T04:31:00.079+01:002013-06-12T04:31:00.079+01:00I remember Napster.

My free songs would take up to 3 hours to download sometimes. And if I tried to download more than one at the same time...well, it could take days. <br /><br />I remember when cd's went from 12.99 to 18.99 in what seemed to be overnight. In 1998, that was a ton of money to a 12 yr old who didn't have an allowance. <br /><br />Rock n' Roll does seem to be dead. Long gone are the rock gods. But it seems (from a trip to Jim Morrison's grave in Paris) that they are most certainly not forgotten. Lady Gaga too seems to be dead. Which...I know isn't rock and roll, but damn that was fast.
