I was once told that "the music industry is a long, dark, narrow, bottomless, plastic money trench in which thieves and pimps run afoot. --- then there's the bad side."
The music industry sucks -- let's just get that off of our chest. It always has sucked to some degree, but in recent years, it's gotten to be even more and more like that above description.
Regardless, good music exists. One may never get rich and famous in the music industry. Good music speaks the soul -- and that's more than enough to stick with it.
What does this have to do w/ analog and recording students? eh, you decide. (Not trying to chase rabbits or anything.)
