As I say, I can't console myself with playing commercial music. Some sorts of commercial music. I have done it - I made more money for one corporate function than a lot of my friends make in a week. The equation is a bit fucked - I've easily made more than that doing something I don't like in a professional. I've played shit (as in actual shit) at weddings for friends (Eva Cassidy, anyone?). But I very seriously feel that talent as in craft is an entirely different thing to talent as in artistic talent. I can't imagine Beefheart (who I don't even care about particularly) making money from the wedding circuit. Music is an art and a craft, but there is no money in music as anything but a craft any more... possibly.
