...There are musicians and there are fans. Everyone else including managers, agents, promoters, and labels are just middle men; doing everything they can, to get a piece of the action.

... is there a point to this thread?

and there it is-

Profound? Pass the doob, man, I gotta catch up to you.

I thunk it were obvious.

No one wants to be my middle man.

*sniff*

At least I have some fans.

Well, I see what you mean now. Many bands, especially the upcoming ones, promote their own gigs, music, merch and whatnot using online sites and advertising all over the place. Spreading the word and playing the shows (or the other way around).
However, financially, a band should have a person whom they trust VERY VERY much (that you could actually rely on him to save your life when you're hanging off a cliff).

I agree with Kidd, Keith,
If ya wanna be a solid rocker, ya just gotta stop thinkin' so much and get yo ass out playin!
(All Cript ever thinks about is big ol' hooters, and he's out giggin' all the time lately!)

As for fans, I got a couple in my power amps!

Hey, profound or not, I'm pretty impressed you had a thought at all, not many people are likely to have an actual real live thought they can call their own these days...nice goin...

Don't do it often though, I hear it gives you headaches and makes smoke come out your ears...

I have a profound thought.
How about a twinkie, inside of another twinkie?!?
Or how about genetically altering flies so that when they hit your windsheild, wiper fluid splatters everywhere instead of bug guts?!?

The flies idea would be friggin' awesome.. haha.. that would save energy, time, and money.. plus they'll have an actual use instead of annoyance.

Flies serve no purpose except to provide food for frogs.
Just like seagulls. They're just bags of crap with wings.
