Dave Mason – HuffPost 5.2.14

Mike Ragogna: Dave, what advice do you have for new artists?

Dave Mason: Well, first off, like anything, you’d better have some good friends around you to tell you that you’re full of shit when you get carried away. At least have some business accumen. It’s a crapshoot, it’s a total crapshoot. You’d better have a lot of faith in what you’re doing, because it’s a crapshoot.

MR: Has it always been a crapshoot in one way or another?

DM: Yeah, there’s no guarantees. All us musicians take on a role in a place where there’s no insurance, no life insurance, no medical policies, nothing. We don’t have all of that stuff, we just go out there on faith, basically.
