"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side."
It's the stage...definitely the stage. I love to play my guitar and sing, but have no urge to go back to the days when I sweated and trembled in front of a packed house of 8 or 10 in a little coffee house with my acoustic Led Zeppelin and Cure covers.
Oh, and then there's the plastic hallway with the thieves and pimps. That's pretty scary.
Hmmm...that description could be any number of industries, really.

Oh? Who says you're not a rock star? Perhaps you merely feel no pressure to pander to the masses by singing on stage or playing an instrument...
