I'm not sure where the idea that musicians deserve to be rich thing began. But it makes about as little sense to me as pro athletes making huge money.

Am I too far off the reality block to believe that the alcohol industry subsidizes a large chunk of the venues that play shows?

Much like 30 Rock Jack D tells Liz, "Get real kids, you write skits mocking our president to fill time between car commercials." aren't live musicians really about selling booze to patrons or tshirts to teeny-boopers?
