You have to love a guy who takes the time to go out of his way to call a guy a moron because he spelled somthing wrong. Get a life dude. (btw, could you spell check this for me?)
Most musicians also have other full time jobs which pay for those neat toys. how often do you hear of a person who has taken the the time and effort (thousands of hours) to become proficient musician who does not own an interment to play? The Sad truth is unless you are very talented, very young, very good looking and very lucky you are not go to make it in the music business (well the popular music business anyway) and even then the large record companies get the lions share of the cash. Can you name any musician that gets radio play that was not at one time in their career young and good looking. I have no doubt that there are thousands of fat old bald guys out there who could blow you away with their music but lack the opportunity and support (and looks) needed for commercial success.
This sad reality will change for the better in the information age. Suddenly the fat old bald guy can afford a good quality digital studio in his basement for less money than his instrument. Suddenly he can publish his music for free on the internet. Suddenly anyone can get that music for free and and play it in their car on the way to work. Sure there is a lot of crap out there but the cream will float to the top and more people will listen.
The Time for open source music is ripe. It is has been happening for a little while now. As a fat old musician/songwriter with a recording studio in his basement I can tell you open source music is alive and well.

I tore off the wrapping paper and looked for what could be in the center of the empty roll of bubble wrap. She says "I know how you like to pop them."
I thought Betamax was going to "be responsible for the downfall of the movie industry". Or was that VHS?
