Musicians making money · PACKERSHOME

OK, I won't derail the Netflix thread any more.

Zero - You seem hung up on being right. I want to be wrong here.

So the possibilities:
1) Ms. Love is right. Musicians are all broke or on the verge of going broke and the site Pack93z posted is incorrect,

2) Ms. Love signed a horrible contract and is bitter. Musicians actually CAN make a fortune and Pack93z's link is proof of that.

I'm sincerely hoping it's #2. If so, I'll be elated. Believe me, the absolute LAST thing I want to believe is Ms. Love.

I can imagine it is probably a bit of both.

I am sure there are musicians, so primed for the "life", that hop into the sack with a label / agent that is going to take them for what their worth.

I am sure there are labels that reward their talent, and pay their artists a decent cut of the total revenue.

And I am sure there are musicians, that get a decent share of the revenue that are piss poor managers of money and run through it like water out of a facet. Bling, drugs, and trips to the clubs of Vegas that eat away at their wallet faster that most of the singles rise and fall in the music scene.

Now.. just because I believe that there is money to be had in the business for the artists.. doesn't mean that I believe that they are getting a fair cut of the jack like say athletes do.

Just I find it hard to believe that less than mainstream artists that have millions in the bank that there isn't opportunity for most that make it to syndicated radio and decent tours.

Who cares if they are broke. They are the most undeserved pussy-getting-sons-of-bitches on the face of the Earth. Well, next to Ben Roethlisberger and Lyle Lovett, that is.

Whatever happened to that show Behind the Music on VHI? Musician makes money, gets hooked on heroin, loses everthing, looks like a bucket of shit, some angel sticks him in rehab, makes a new album, and ends up on reality tv. God Bless America.

Yeah, Forbes I'd actually believe.

Pack - I think you're right. I think it's a matter of both.

But one question I have. Why do rappers make more money than everyone else in the music industry? Rap? Come on.

(As for DakotaT, does he want ANYONE to be rich?)

I want whatever programming gigs you're getting. That's some serious cash flow for being a code monkey to be topping those bums.

Look at the Google guys. Those guys make all those pop stars look poor. Heck, Google probably has several hundred guys who make U2 look broke.

Mucky Tundra (19h) : The Dualing Banjo!

Zero2Cool (31-Jan) : Jets have named Chris Banjo as their special teams coordinator, Former Packers player

Zero2Cool (31-Jan) : Jaguars have hired Anthony Campanile as their DC. We lose coach

Zero2Cool (30-Jan) : QB coach Sean Mannion

dfosterf (30-Jan) : from ft Belvoir, Quantico and points south. Somber reminder of this tragedy at Reagan Nat Airport

dfosterf (30-Jan) : So eerily quiet here in Alexandria. I live in the flight path of commercial craft coming from the south and west, plus the military craft

dfosterf (30-Jan) : So eeri

Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Now that's a thought, maybe they're looking at the college ranks? Maybe not head coaches but DC/assistant DCs with league experience?

beast (30-Jan) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.

beast (30-Jan) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.

Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired

beast (30-Jan) : I wonder what's taking so long with hiring a DL coach, 2 of the 3 known to interview have already been hired elsewhere.

Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Packers coach Matt LaFleur hires Luke Getsy as senior assistant, extends Rich Bisaccia's deal

Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Chiefs again huh? I guess another Super Bowl I'll be finding something else to do.

dfosterf (27-Jan) : Happy Birthday Dave!

Mucky Tundra (27-Jan) : happy birthday dhazer

TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Exactly buck...Washington came up with the ball. It is just a shitty coincidence one week later

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : I forgot, they corrected the call a week later. Lol btw HAPPY BIRTHDAY dhazer!

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : That brings up the question, why wasn't Nixon down by contact? I think that was the point Kanata was making.

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : Turnovers rule, win the turnover battle, win the game.

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : well, he was

TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Eagles down by contact on the fumble....fuck you NFL

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : I think this games over

beast (26-Jan) : Eagles sure get a lot of fumbles on kickoffs

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : This game looks too big for Washington

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : that being said, The Ravens are the Browns

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : Browns, Dolphins have longest AFC Championship droughts

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : As of today, Cowboys have longest NFC Championship drought,

beast (26-Jan) : Someone pointed out, with Raiders hiring Carroll, the division games between Carroll and Jim Harbaugh are back on (who can whine more games)

beast (26-Jan) : I'm confused, Pete Carroll and Brian Schottenheimer? When Todd Monken, Joe Brady, Kellen Moore, Kliff Kingsbury and Zac Robinson are availab

Zero2Cool (25-Jan) : Any reason I'm catching a shot here about my intelligence?

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not

Mucky Tundra (24-Jan) : Rude!

beast (24-Jan) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job
