I certainly have nothing against Mr. Thacker but many times you earn your spot in the music industry simply by refusing to go away. Lots of bands who “made it” put in a solid decade before getting anything close to the recognition that comes with a larger audience. Yes- there are bands and artists who somehow seem to get a break early in their career although the larger share of bands seem to have to pay dues for a much longer period during which they become the artist that they always wanted to be. Speaking in general – go to any city and note how many performers there are in their 20s and how similar they all are – only time, experience, and seasoning differentiates the exceptional ones. Yes there is the “american idol” route but the kind of artist I’m seeking is always going to be someone who has been in it for the long haul and couldn’t be pried away from “the business”. This isn’t to say that those artists who seek an exit from the business aren’t talented just that the ones who don’t go away seem to have something truly unique and impressive to offer.
