re: #19 Targetpractice

It’s the life cycle of music acts in America: Start out playing small-time venues to tiny crowds, finally start getting notice when you play as the warm-up act for some rising star band that finally “made it,” get all sorts of praise for finally getting mainstream attention..and then have all your old fans sit around bitching that they don’t like anything before you signed your contract because you “sold out.”

Or take the jam band route. Find a fun sound you’re comfortable playing around with for decades, put out an album here and there, learn about 500 covers, and play about 100 shows a year. If you’re good, you can make a million dollars. You have to be able to play a mean Johnny B. Goode.
