Just stay out of that "middle" and you'll be fine. -Anthony “Every revolution destroys the average middle first and most savagely.”

Just stay out of that “middle” and you’ll be fine.

My best to you in your endeavors. Be well, Bob Dan,

Radio, voice-acting, music, comic-strips (surely endangered simply by the distribution method going away). Sometimes I think I arrived at the party too late. But I must pursue my passions, so I roll with it. The playing field is leveling, and changing the way the game is played. That's a scary thing in some ways, but a great thing in many more ways. It's now more affordable than ever to create radio production from home. To build a home voice-over studio. To produce music. To self-publish a comic-strip on the internet. The music industry has done a poor job of adapting to the change. They still seem interested in doing things the old way, which doesn't work, and frankly wasn't very fair to the artists. Seth Godin discusses the record biz's current situation in his book "Tribes," which is all about challenging the status quo. We have the tools to succeed. Maybe now more than ever. The question is: How do we stand out from the crowd? And that's always been the challenge. It seems every business I’m in (or interested in) needs saving.
