Topic: getting famous as group

<img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_mad.gif" border=0 alt="Mad">  <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_biggrin.gif" border=0 alt="Very Happy"> It will be always a mystery, how a group can be famous. I think they all start with that idea, some have luck, others, with maybe better musicians don't. In stead of protecting themselves, they should, without being stalked by people, try to live a normal (??!!!) live.

On one hand they all want to be recognized, on the other hand, once they are there, rush, rush.. to disappear

The NYC scene sucks!  You have to already have a following to get gigs...That's why I moved to New Paltz NY...about an hour and a half north.  You can actually play a gig that lasts longer than 45 minutes, unlike NYC, and this is a town that is begging to be rocked!


Maybe I should just compose ring tones, because that is the only field of the music business that is lucritive right now...
