Bands and Money
Phil Sutcliffe, Q, 1999
Nobody goes into rocknroll for the money. No, really. Ask any band. But the trouble is if a lot of people like them they get rich. Then its great because they can have all the fun in the world, and all hell breaks loose because they start scrapping over who gets how much.
