Since we have been discussing the definition of success of Adam#2-- I know Adam has said that he wants to be a pop star--but the definition of pop star and the role of the music industry is ever changing. He has also said that he just wants to make music and make a living doing what he loves. Pop star? Financially stable artist/musician? Who knows what will happen or what is best for Adam, his music, and his fans. Q3 (and anyone else interested in the traditional label vs. internet music business marketing and success), I am posting this interesting podcast produced by NPR's Planet Money and NPR Music about what it means to be a successful musician today. If the guy they feature in this piece can make $500,000 in a year with his 60,000 twitter followers making niche comedy music for tech geeks, then Adam will be just fine with or without radio. I don't tend to angst about Adam, and of course I want Adam to have his "radio pop star" career if that is what he really wants, but the alternative isn't so bad either. As long as he continues to sing, has an audience to listen, and is able to support himself, and is satisfied and happy. The content of the podcast starts about 4 minutes in. www.npr.org/blogs/money/2011/05/20/136496085/the-friday-podcast-is-this-man-a-snuggieTHANK YOU... no angsting from me.. Adam is doing what he loves and he's doing it perfectly.  |

BAMA!!!!!!!How are you? How are things for you? Any better??   , Thanks for asking. Things WILL get better, but moving at a snail's pace. Still waiting on a new roof, new windows, lots of other repairs, insurance adjustment, and on and on. It's kinda like living in a tent in a time warp. My daily routine is shot to hell....DH is home now, almost all day long, and that's probably the hardest thing to deal with. LOL. |
