Bottom line, I like it when people make their musical points with music, at the end of the day.


Do they have any music or songs to back this up?

Of course not.

I am convinced of all musical arguments, though, when a person makes their argument in a song.




Oddly, this subject came up in an article just yesterday. Here's Don McLean's take on music as a career and money.


Don McLean finance article


Look at his time at his earning peak. Tax rate was 70% and everyone was getting a piece of his 'American Pie' literally. Of a million dollars he earned, he go to net $100.000 at the end of the day. $65,000 went toward purchasing a home. He still owns that home today. His story falls right in line with the thrust of what my brother was trying to teach me years ago. You only have to get it right once and keep the net money you make.
