Showbiz

I read this article in the mail today:

and was shocked!

Hope it's nothing like that for the boys!

What do you guys think?

I know - the music industry is so... buggered up these days

It just makes me laugh that so many people want to get into it because it's glamourous and all the rest, when in reality it's all horrible.
But what I don't get is why noone that is involved with all this stuff doesn't ever talk about it? Like, not even if they retire or whatever. OK, I understand that they probs can't because of libal and the fact they may want to continue in the biz but still, why does it take secret spies to get the true facts?

No, I know a few people in the music industry and they say nowadays it's crap and no one earns a decent living (unless you're a superstar of course)... so I know it is talked about, just not so much in the media, I guess.

Ah ok I see...Yeah I understand why they wouldn't want it in the media, I can just never understand how stuff that's so corrupt manages to stay so quiet

It's a shame though, soon people won't want to get involved and then what will we listen to?!?!

Hmm... just coming back to this, but there will ALWAYS be music, and artists can make money via live music e.g. gigs and private events etc.
