If you're trying to make it in music, Bob Lefsetz is a must-read.

I've been a reader for a long while but his latest string of posts about artist solicitations are truly memorable and informative and forced me to create this thread. He's that good and I have to share. I know many on here are trying to make moves in music, whether it be production, management, etc. This is one guy you have to read.

Definitely peep all the game he drops

Absolutely.

I agree with a lot of the advice he constantly tries to reinforce but I can never take him seriously. There's something soulless and pathetic about him. I pity the guy.

Good advice nonetheless.

Why the hell would you want to be a musician.
It's such a terrible business.

Ah, how about if you you're genuinely talented and love making and performing music. Money and business isn't everything, especially to artists and anyone who thrives on creative output.
