“The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There’s also a negative side.”

– Hunter S. Thompson

    Love the site, and HST drawing is great, but quote is WRONG!!! Not your fault, because 1)Quote was originally about the tv industry, and 2) was paraphrased by Rolling Stone writer in '92 or so in regards to music biz, and MANY MANY MANY people have repeated paraphrasing wihout realizing it. Check out Hunter's widow's (Anita) blog, owlfarmblog.com, and look in archive for her much more in depth discussion about this quote. Keep on chooglin'!
