All i do is book my own tours. It's awesome. I'm considering being a booking agent as a side job since over 5 years I've made quite many contacts. Finally have a band hitting the road. Everything scott has said in all of his videos is true. If the truth hurts, welcome to reality. It's called work. But it's for something that you love. Remember that, even the best and greatest at what they do, have bad days.

Wow. I totally expected this guy to fill my head with some sort of major label crap like  " you have to sound like whats in. you have to look a certain way", but he didn't. There is real info here. Thanx man.
