I read 2 of them and then moved on. I stay away from negative shit like this. Life is what you make it. You can't allow outside views to dim you inner vision. Yeah, the music industry sucks but that is nothing new. It has always sucked for the majority of people who are in it for fame and glory.

Ignore junk like that, not worth the time to read. just do. and go for it, learn the trade and hurdle the challenges that lie ahead, the secret is to persevere, but learn the biz and how it works, that 99 problems is for weaklings and that attitude will crush the ones who are easily defeated, before they even try, just press on

Lower royalties are killing an entire generation of writers: according to one report, Nashville has lost more than 80 percent of its songwriters since 2000."
