Playing in a band is the best part time job in the world....but it IS a job. After 41 years on stage, it's "no pay- no play".If someone is making money off of me playing, I want part of it, plus, although it's still a lot of fun while you are on stage, there's all those setups and teardowns, the obnoxious drunks, and the inevitable politics within the band.I hate it but I love it.
Fame? Don't need it. Just give me money, that's what I want.
