Eyerly points out that music for centuries was a background art often played by strolling minstrels who wandered the countryside doing what they did for love - not for money. Napster, Eyerly said, could return the music world to its original roots. The bands have gotten a lot of fame and a lot of money recently. That's really odd in the history of this planet. I think Napster might change all that.
Music is now free again.
And if you take the profit out, you'll have artists again doing this because it's what they love to do. Not because it results in champagne baths, new Jaguars and diamonds to cover the body. Club Riviera, Eyerly said proudly, is his place for wandering minstrels. The bars think they'll scare customers away. Playing before strangers is where you learn stage presence and whether you have it or you don't.
