money makes the world go round
that's one of the reasons why it makes me not want to call myself a musician or in other terms a "rocker".
Well, don't get me wrong...It's not that i'm jealous of the people who are circulating and somewhat "hogging" the mainstream music scene. It's just the their manipulating the scene for their own personal ambitions.
Kung iba-baba lang ang presyo ng mga Budweiser, Heineken, Carlsberg at ipapantay sa presyo ng San Mig, which would you choose? But hey, hindi ganun ang presyo ng mga beer dito sa pinas. Bakit? Kasi San Mig is if not the leading, one of the leading brands in the Philippines...anong panama nung mga imported or small to medium brands sa kanila?
Anyone can write a good song. Anyone can group a bunch of words and make it inspirational. Anyone can pickup a guitar and learn how to play it if he/she wants to...but it's just those famous and influential ones that get acknowledged and get the credit.
IMHO.
