Disagree here too. Touring is where the money is. Ask
any regularly touring band. When you get higher up in
the industry it also pretty much a requirement as an
advertisement for the album, etc., etc., etc. 

But, my point was, go ask any lawyer or accountant or
manager (and a musician or two if you can locate
them)in the biz and they'll tell you touring is where
its at - at least in the strata of regularly 'sampled'
pop music....
