The real public doesn't know the fact that not a penny is being paid to the artists when their song is played on the radio.

It's terrible that this is happening to musicians and artists in general. As a performer, though, I can't stress enough about keeping up to date with what is going on with the industry. While these big corporations used to be concerned with order fulfillment in terms of album sales, they now struggle as well to keep up with the newest trends, i.e. internet/computer fads. Not only do they have to be on the offensive for selling, but they have to watch the defensive side too, such as "free" music (napster etc...) The more they sink their money into that, the less they're going to spend on the artist. Performers: FIND NEW WAYS TO MARKET AND MAKE YOUR MONEY...pure and simple. The ballgame's always changing and only the informed and flexible will survive!

I was always under the impression that artists did get royalties from radio spins.

I enjoyed this piece. Although not a humor writer, I am a writer … class nontheless. In person I’m a fool out a bit awkward as Star Trek “look” of laughter throughout the galaxy. I love people who move through life with eyes and heart continually questioning internal tickle and spread around as if you can not hold. That’s me too. Although they tend to be a serious writer I do occasionally throw a tornado rib. I like your dry wit superimposed with its “attempt to counterfeit” (LOL) in a serious tone. You may not consider to do that, but it does and it’s great! It’s great fun and I relate to him. Although this is a very helpful article for any writer, humorous or not, for me I still find it funny. Wit is mixed with the serious tone that cracks me up. It gives the reader the impression that they are unrelated to any attempt at humor. It’s hard to explain, but it sure works and I like it. Thanks for sharing. And I totally agree with frases de aniversario
