Ha ha ha, yes quite, maybe I *should* stop buying only re-issues of 
Bony-M and Elton John.

Thanks for the tip.

I know many many musicians. None of them bar one (who signed) could 
give up the day job.

This sentence makes no sense. Where does the industry stop? With the 
majors only? Er.. nope they are all the record industry - they all 
release records to make money (even if only to break even to keep 
selling)

Nope not true. In the sixties and seventies the majors were very 
instrumental in bringing new and exciting music out. They just lost the 
plot in the eighties and nineties when the indies move in, who where 
subsequently bought out by the majors and here we are again with the 
new indies... buts its still all part of the record industry...
