Not to jack this thread too far from its intent, I would say that there is a fine line between arts and entertainment. Artists always seem to struggle, but entertainers not so much. Even in a bad economy people still want to be entertained. In the 6 years since I started my current band I've spent WAY more than I've earned. If I was in a "Top 40" cover band I could easily quit my day job and make a decent living playing the casinos and private parties. Art vs. Entertainment. Of course, at some point you would hope that YOUR art would become the entertainment that people are looking for.
