When I later heard about bands actually paying to play in certain clubs, I knew things had been perverted in a terrible way. The desperate, innate desire to create and perform had been exploited rather than supported.

we would all occasionally look for inspiration elsewhere—in other mediums like fine art, poetry, art actions, drag performances, and circus sideshows. All served as points of reference for us. Being forced to look outside of music was a good thing. It may have been done out of desperation, but it pushed everyone to make something new

prehistorically early on—all art forms were communally made, which had the effect of reinforcing a group’s cohesion and thereby improving their chances of survival. In other words, writing (storytelling), music, and art had a practical use, from an evolutionary perspective

Not the main theme of the book, but it’s the thing I paid special attention to: it is the only book I know that talks about music as a business from artist’s perspective with real problems and real numbers.

Besides that there is a little about this and that: history of music art, history of music industry, culture in general, about touring, hangout, clubs and a lot more. Very multifaceted book!
