NPR - How to be successful in the Music business.

[jokerone]

I was driving to work today, and NPR had a piece on Dolly Parton. I don't own any Dolly Parton albums and 9 to 5 is the only one of her songs I can name, but
she did have some advice I thought everybody here might be interested in.

She said she in order to write and sing the type of music she wanted to do (Bluegrass/Mountain/Country), she had to be financially successful in other things otherwise she would starve.

Granted everybody has a different story and path, but I did find her honesty about the subject interesting.

if she was starting out now, she'd get nowhere though (but massive breasts must help)

Too funny. Well I'm sure they got her noticed originally.
