Comprehensive-but-brief (and well-written, laws-a mercy!) sketch of the huge shift in the music industry and what "making it" means today. 100% applicable to any pursuit once requiring mass exposure/consumption: just shift the particulars.

Being able to give up your day job.  Used to be, you got signed, you thought you’d made it, you were just a year or so from going back to McDonald’s, behind the counter.  Today, since you’ve invested in yourself, built everything yourself, if you can shitcan your day job and make it playing music, kick back and have a drink, congratulate yourself, you’ve truly made it.  Carly Smithson had a record deal and national TV exposure and she’s still pulling drinks in a bar in San Diego, or will be again soon.  That’s the first hurdle, earning your freedom from the everyday grind.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/7885E66F-FF2E-4F5D-9A4F-8D16712F9999/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
