ONE, and, yes, I have many, but one of my pet peeves is Disney's musicians. They take cute teenage boys and girls who have almost no real talent and make super stars out of them.

We have worked in the music business for a very long time and we KNOW what it takes for a real musician to make it in this business. Not only do they have to have real talent, but they have to bust their ass playing in nasty honky tonks and biker bars, festivals and rallies. They have to work a day job just so they can afford to go play these horrible nasty gigs because they get paid next to nothing. Our bands are lucky if they get enough to pay for the gas it took to get there. They haul their own equipment and drive old vans that barely make it from one place to the next and are glad they aren't having to do it from the trunk of their car anymore.

In the music business there are dues that have to be paid. period.

It takes years to work your way to the top, years of hanging in and not letting go, years of hard work,having to not loose the dream even when your family and friends are telling you that you are crazy to keep trying. (you just wouldn't believe how many wives/girlfriends have put an end to a good musicians career)

To play in Nashville or Austin you are lucky to get in a bar to play and you do it for free because if you don't there are a hundred other bands that will.

To get radio play there are more than dues that have to be paid......

It is a hard world.

and, those no-talent little punk ass Disney musicians have not paid any dues. Disney chooses them, Disney promotes them, Disney makes them into super stars and they just do not deserve it.
