Souls for sale, to the highest bidder!It is so sad how people ditch bands cause they are so called *mainstream*
I wish those people would just crawl back into their underground holes never to see the light of day...
To break through these days, a compromise must take place.
The music must be made "accessible" to to more people...so now, instead of making
the music that you like to make, you're crafting your work to target an audience, Miller Lite
has their ads all over your concerts, etc. even though they've never paid the artist a dime....
anyway, there's nothing inherently wrong with being popular or going mainstream.
If I was a recording artist, I would be difficult to resist, especially since, for them, it's
what puts food on the table. But hell, some of the most talented bands going won't have
a song any Top40 radio station. Because mainstream music is, in retrospect, like fads.
It was cool then, cause everyone was doing it, but when you look back it's like "What the
fuck was I thinking?".
