The System sucks. Hollywood and the Music Biz are states of mind. Nobody knows anything. There are no rules.
Nobody takes chances.
Everyone is out for themselves. Everyone wants you to fail. When you're hot, you're hot, when you're not, you may as well be dead. It's a war of attrition, and whoever has the biggest EGO wins. The Indie-Underground was created because there is a great void between The System and the creators .
