You know, it really doesn't matter if Discount is stating facts or yanking the chain so hard that he's hanging off of it. I know plenty that fit his self description.
Well folks, ya went for "easy" instead of "good business sense" or even "common sense".
Much as Discount's real or made up self-description annoys me, there are other issues.
Keep in mind that, as in any other business, we are paid to WORK. The goal of any successful business person should be customer satisfaction, not "gee, how can I make my life easier?".
I'm 54, have never had a roadie or helper, am disc based, using a passive system. I have no problem carrying, lifting, moving, setting up or breaking down my systems, large or small.
Never had a good business reason to carry so little in public that everyone who owned a PC figured they would give it a try.
Guess ya should've tried the gym......
Too late now, so the only thing to do is to be better and different than the wannabes, and hang in until this cycle, like the others- ends.
Yup, even before MP3s and PCs there were cycles. Starts with only a few good shows available, and very little trash. Then the good shows get overcrowded, a few wannabes see it, and try to cash in on the overflow, thinning things just a bit. Then a bunch of crappers give it a try, and karaoke is everywhere, but of diluted quality. It drops in popularity- drastically. Many of the early wannabes and most of the crappers fade away. The good shows survive. Repeat cycle...
