Stuck With The Fishing Bill

It’s like a broke kid with no credit history being offered a million dollar platinum visa card…only the kid doesn’t really have any say or gets to spend that money except for an upfront “high interest” cash advance. That onetime upfront cash advance is also drained away by oppertunistic “entertainment lawyers”,managers, ect…

The rest of the credit is spent on the kid’s behalf,in the kid’s name, but the kid is the one stuck with the bill.

If you had a million dollar visa line, how would you feel if a bunch of freeloaders and oppertunists spent it all and you had to spend the rest of your life paying for thier good time?

What makes things worse is the “predatory lender” often tries to pad expenses and present inaccurate and false invoices to the artist, so that the artist is left in the dark as to how much was truthfully
spent and how much he owes.

If the artists asks for an accurate invoice, they are branded as a troublemaker and retaliated against. This is one of the reasons why they are going to Congress and lawmakers for help and to reform the industry.

Musical Brains

When I told my wife that, according to this research, musicians have an auditory cortex (which is the part of the brain concerned with hearing) which contains 130 per cent more “grey matter” than in non-musicians, she said: “Amazing.  And you STILL can’t hear us when we call you!  What it REALLY amounts to is that musicians use a greater percentage of their brains to listen to music.  Like we didn’t KNOW this….”

I still thought it was pretty interesting to get it confirmed.
