This article reminded me of the time that i interned with my aunt at her studio, evil twin productions in L.A. She told me all sorts of stories regarding the business, and ways that people get into it. How sometimes, musicians will not know anything about music, but have some trait or quality that a big company can relate to a population and market the hell out of it. Like hanna montanna. Then there are the others who try all their life, and might get one big break, and a tiny little bit of money, or more likely, people will work extremely hard their whole night, and never even get that break.

it might have been unrelated to the article, but it's what I felt.
