Quote by Tom T. Hall
It used to be that you'd have a song recorded by a major country artist and if it was a hit, you could buy a car. Now you can buy a dealership.
Summary
This quote highlights the drastic changes in the music industry's financial landscape. In the past, a songwriter would earn a significant amount of money by having their song recorded by a popular country artist. The success of one hit could result in a substantial reward, such as being able to afford a car. However, with the rise of digital streaming platforms and greater opportunities for independent artists, the potential for financial success has increased dramatically. Today, a successful songwriter has the potential to earn far more, with the analogy of being able to afford a car replaced by the analogy of being able to own a dealership, reflecting the exponential growth in revenue possibilities.
