It is really sad for the new artists. Where's the next Elvis, where's the next Beatles, where's the Zeppelin? They're out there but they don't have a chance because once upon a time we [musicians of the 60s] had record companies, and they would support you and have point of purchase material and they would give you advances. In other words, they gave you the air to breathe to find yourself and spend the time to learn how to run.
Gene SimmonsEducation, especially business education will only give you tools. What you do with these tools is all that matters. Life and business isnโt paint by numbers. You have to think for yourself. You have to invent yourself. You have an inferred fiduciary mandate to yourself, and that means, itโs your responsibility to learn people skills, and language skills, in order to increase your chances of success. You also have to be at the right place, at the right time, with the right thing. Mostly and invariably, the real product youโre going to be selling isโฆ.you.
Gene SimmonsThereโs an old adage that says that money is the root of all evil. Bullshit. Lack of money is the root of all evil.
