rich-er kids have the time to play music. they can be 23, and still have time to do what they want - unless they inpregnated their gf. really rich kids can be 40, not have a day job and still play music all they want.
financially challenged individuals say goodbye to music after they graduate... or maybe after failing 3x in a row... they have to work to eat cause their families wont give em food anymore. after you realize that you dont have the basic human need of food, shelter and clothing, you will know for sure that music can never sustain your existence. all of those are considering the guy didn't impregnate his GF, hehe.
in the US, some poor guys get a break because even if they dont have money, they have food stamps... they eat, ergo, they live.
the only time a poor guy can have a break here in pinas is when he has a bandmate or manager sponsoring him... and they get a chance to travel abroad to play 4 sets a night of britney, j.lo and buttercup covers, depending on the location or else it would be cueshe, hale, 6 cycle mind, regine velasquez, kamikazee, etc.
it's not all about money really... its all about TIME (and food, perhaps)
nevertheless, mahirap magbanda... mapa poor ka man o rich... ako nga, hanggang ngayon sa tabi tabi pa rin tumutugtog
