    Don’t forget to tell them to go to the shows!!

    Musicians are real people who very often hold live performances in high-population locations, you can see them directly with your eyeballs, hear them directly with your hearholes, and physically hand them actual cash with your flesh and blood hands!

    Edit - To the people complaining about ticket company charges: You need to get into your local music scene and the +95% of bands out there who aren’t big enough to play venues that have ticket company contracts. There is a world of music out there completely free of that system and you’re neglecting it.

      Most of the time you have to pre book via some website that takes its 30% cut.

      Man, I wish I could hand them cold, hard cash. Instead, I gotta pay Ticketmaster to skim off the top first before giving the artist and their team peanuts.
