In the words of "Paulie Think"
(cont.)
CHALLENGES. There are many musicians in Austin that are facing various challenges. Organizations like HAAM and the Austin Music Foundation are a great asset. Musicians face financial hardships and people expect us just to give away our music. All of the hours and money that it takes to put out legit music and then people expect to get it for free. It's really rough right now. I remember I put out just a few (like 100) CD’s from an EP I did in Chicago and just handed them out in the neighborhood. I went to Ohio for a show and there were kids at the show who already knew the songs. I was like "how the hell?". They showed me some site where they got the music for free. Trying to adapt to this current music climate is the big challenge right now.
THE FUTURE. Get this DIY Bandits label crackin’ and continue to put out good music. Take care of my legal wreckage, so I can get a passport and do the European tours that I've been offered. Smash the State and Save the Whales lol.
FEAR. My biggest fear is giving in to fear. Fear is the biggest weapon of those in power. Fear is also the most insidious life limiting emotion we can inflict upon ourselves.
FINALE. Peace, Love and Resistance Dunnies.
