Reminds me of the guy who gave his friend ten bucks every week to play his numbers in the lottery. One week the lottery was up over 12 million and all this guy's numbers came up. That's when he found out that his friend never bought the tickets.

My cowriter and I got a song that was taken by a major label last week to be pitched to two of its new acts. It took personal relationships and years of networking. It wasn't dropped off in an envelope. We didn't use a songplugger. The song won't be pitched to one of their majors, who, we feel, would be a perfect fit. But, we're not complaining. The majors have songwriters they've been working with, maybe we can get in with the new acts. Money we've invested in the song? Zero. Money I've invested in the music business? If you count the money I could have made in any other business? Incalculable.

It costs money to play the lottery, just make sure you're getting the ticket.

You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash

It's only music.
