what is happening ?
I think Tay Zonday has found the answer : advertise : write songs no matter how goofy about specific products . " Chocolate rain " was this song written about Chocolate cherry Dr pepper ?
This kid could be a comic genius , the original video does not have the Dr pepper bottle in it , later on the next video is an obvious commercial . He also did a rap song about Turbo tax , not sure if the TURBO TAX guys have picked this one up . Anyway he must have got paid something for " Chocolate rain and the verzion commercial .
So should I spend the time performing and scrimping and saving for a broad cast quaility Cd that a may sell enough copies of to break even OR by a web camera and make really strange songs about products I like with awful lyrics that point to the virtues of " Shiner Bock beer ",
" Yukon jack whiskey ", " Martin tires " , Hot Pockets " and " Delimex chicken taquitos " ?


cheers 2008

Could be that's the only way to make it these days,but if so,
I will continue to be a performing musician who plays what makes me happy regardless of "making it big".
I'm an old school road warrior,and love playing live no matter what.
I've done gigs in the past for free,just to get media coverage or other exposure,and will do so again if it's beneficial to us.
Everyone has to do what they believe to be right for them,or regardless of
whether they are making money or not,they have sold out their beliefs.
Peace brother,
Tsargoth
