OK, I don't get it ... like everyone else, I am angry and frustrated and
disappointed that Will Owsley's career has been sabotaged by a short-sighted
music industry. But what I don't understand is why that means he has to stop
recording and releasing CDs.
How many of the musicians on this list make a living at it? How many have
day jobs to pay the bills and keep doing music mainly because they love it?
Maybe there are legal issues here I don't understand -- I realize that
Owsley may be subject to contractual obligations that limit his options. But
if he's got 30 songs in the can, it sure seems kind of silly to me for them
to sit on a shelf somewhere. I'm sure glad Jamie Hoover hasn't decided to
quit singing just because the Spongetones gig hasn't made him rich.
