		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s not about how good you are; it&#8217;s about how good of a communicator you are.
Example:
Many remember the 80&#8217;s rock bands Poison and Ratt. Like most of this era&#8217;s glam-metal groups, these two bands are often better known for their hair styles and lifestyles, rather than their music. Love them, hate them, or just plain don&#8217;t care, these [...]]]></description>

#1 &#8211; Write great songs.
So who defines &#8220;great&#8221;? 
If you&#8217;re interested in marketing and selling your songs&#8230; other people do.
NOT songs that YOU think are great, but songs that OTHERS think are great.
Objective others who have no vested interest in the &#8220;success&#8221; of your music.
Aerosmith says &#8220;Let the Music Do the Talking&#8221;&#8230; that&#8217;s the secret.

		<description><![CDATA[Why Your Band Won't Make It... and what you can do about it)

Disclaimer: Most bands, musicians, artists, and performers reading this will not be able to handle it. It's too real, too raw, and too true. This will hit some of you where it hurts the most... in the pride. It may make you mad, discourage you, or hurt your feelings. If it does any of those things, it has hit a nerve that is sending you a strong message. A message that needs to be heeded in order to for you to make changes in your attitude and your approach to your "career" that will produce real progress... finally. It is my sincere hope that this article pisses some of you off to the point of doing something about it - because those of you that take offense to this are likely the very ones who need to hear it the most...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[WARNING: The following article contains truths that may make some uncomfortable. Read at your own risk!

I was tuned into a rock radio station in southern California once when the DJ mentioned three stages of partying that most bands and musicians pass through:
Stage 1 &#8211; All fun
Stage 2 &#8211; Fun with problems
Stage 3 &#8211; All problems

		<description><![CDATA[What often seems common in knowledge is uncommon in practice. Nowhere is this more evident than in what I call the &#8220;crock star&#8221; music business. I define &#8221;crock stars&#8221; as up-and-coming musicians who are basically full-of-it and full of themselves. The majority of what they tell you is a &#8220;crock.&#8221; They embellish, blow up, exaggerate, over-state, or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Good Cop  -
Several years ago I wrote a couple of books for indie musicians called the Musician&#8217;s Corner®.  The books were born out the popularity of my syndicated columns and radio spots of the same name. In the book (and additional audio book), I outlined tons of innovative strategies for musicians, bands, and artists to consider [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a fine line between doing what you love&#8230; doing what you&#8217;re good at&#8230; and paying the bills. The &#8221;happiest&#8221; and most &#8220;successful&#8221; folks out there have found this elusive balance. It&#8217;s a goal toward which we all should strive. Of course, it&#8217;s way easier said than done.
