Dick Dale's advice to artists: stay the hell away from labels
Derek sez, "Legendary guitarist Dick Dale provides some free advice to up-and-coming artists in this video interview." In a nutshell, Dale says, "Don't sign with a label, they'll get every penny, screw you over and you won't see anything -- in fact, if you make them $14,000,000, you'll end up owing them $2,000,000 more." He advises artists to go indie, make their own CDs, sell them out of the trunks of their cars, stop trying to make the cover of Rolling Stone, be a business person instead.
