Bad Apple!! but it's on my house

it's crazy hearing from musicians who have a much bigger following than i ever will about just how little money they actually make from said music at the end of the day. they're playing shows for 300-400 people in a single city and only making a little bit of profit.
meanwhile, i have a really steady gig and have had that for the past 11 years that i have always made a pretty good profit on. it's had its ups and downs for sure, but it could literally be my job if i was able to drive to all the spots. in the past when i had more roommates to drive me places it literally was my job.
i just feel incredibly blessed to have been so lucky to get into a place like this. even if it inevitably tuckers out, and it kind of has been the past couple of years, i am just extremely grateful i was able to play for so many people and make some pretty good money doing it for as long as i have. it's a little surreal.
mainly post about music and games, and share art from artists i like.
obviously i don't condone any sort of abuse/exploitation irl, go fuck yourself.
