Reason it's not a business is because his "fans" won't let him make a living at it. You read what he said about people complimenting him on a record that isn't even released yet. That sucks. I've talked to struggling musicians who's so-called "fans" say straight to their face that they really enjoy their music but that they didn't pay for it - just got it off someone else or from a P2P site.
That sucks and that's not any way to be a fan. I'm not surprised that Geist is feeling the way he is. How long could you possibly put up with that bullshyte before losing it?
