No, I mean we'd all definitely involved in the music business someway or another, because we're all living with it, and in it, and also we've got all sorts of things we would like to do.

Too Much Monkey Business
Running to and fro,
Hard working at the mill,
Never failed at the mill,
There come a rotten bill.
Aw too much monkey business,

Trying to run me up a creek,
Says you can buy it, go on try it,
You can pay me next week.
Aw too much monkey business,
Too much monkey business,

Blonde hair, good-looking,
Trying to get me hooked and married
Get a home, settle down by the book.

Getting up, going to school.
No need for me complaining,
My objection's overruled.

Working in the filling station,
Too many tasks,
Wipe the windows, check the oil,
Check the tires, dollar gas?

Don't want you by the race,
Get away and leave me.

For telling me a tale.

I had business experience. I had made my living designing and building electronic equipment. Basic business was not new to me, but the music business was completely new to me. I knew nothing about distribution, or any of those things.
There just is exponentially more money in the movie business than in the music business. As a result there are more people involved in the creative process.

Bigtime Operators
Well, they told me to come on over
I made my way to new york
And they tried to have me deported
Stop me from getting work
Blacklisted me all over
They were vicious and they were mean
They were bigtime operators
Baby, on the music business scene
Oh, they looked like politicians
But underneath they were thugs
And they spread malicious rumours
Threatened to have me busted for drugs
They had nothing on me
Oh man, I was really clean
But they were bigtime operators
On the music business scene
They put a bug in my apartment
To listen in on my calls
I was looking for some motivation
I couldnt find any, any motivation at all
They were very desperate people
Riding in long black limousines
But they were bigtime operators
On the music business scene
They were glorified by the media
They were heroes who had names
They said that they would bury me
If I didnt play their game
They said I didnt know the score
And that I was young and green
They were bigame operators
On the music business scene
Tried to hold me to a phoney contract
I said I didnt agree
Had to get out of the clutches
Had to go underground you see
Now Im living in another country
But I know exactly just where Ive been
Stay away from bigtime operators
Baby, on the music business scene
Well, baby bigtime operators
On the music business scene
Oh baby, bigtime operators
On the music business scene
Well, full of names and places
Baby, you know who I mean

As for the music business itself, the key things have not changed that much. It operates like any business and money still keeps things moving.
Life... is not simply a series of exciting new ventures. The future is not always a whole new ball game. There tends to be unfinished business. One trails all sorts of things around with one, things that simply won't be got rid of.

Somehow, Somewhere, Someway
Kenny wayne shepard
Somehow, somewhere, someway
Now girl, I see you in my dreams
It happens every day and night now
You got me going to extremes
Dont seem to care whats wrong or right now
Ill make ya mine someday
Somehow, somewhere, someway
You say Im really not your kind
I know I look a little rough now
If I could give you everything, girl
Would it ever be enough now
Ill make you mine someday
Somehow, somewhere, someway
It makes me wonder whats goin on baby,
When the night rolls in
It something happens that feels so strong and
And I just cant pretend, oh yeah
~ solo ~
Oh dont you wonder whats, goin on baby
When the night rolls in
Its something happens that,feels so strong and
And it will happen again so, you can turn and walk away,
But I know you would regret it,
If I ever had my way, yeah,
Do you think you could forget it,
Its gonna happen someday,
Somehow, somewhere, someway
I wanna have you someday,
Somehow, somewhere, someway
Ill make you mine someday
Somehow, somewhere, someway

I'm not really involved with politics... I'm living in my cocoon with my classical music around.
It's the business I'm in, I can't say that signing things is the favourite part of my career but you know that it has to be done and that there is no pain involved.

You Run Your Mouth (And I'll Run My Business)
(words and music by Armstrong)
Who doubt say, who doubt when I say, who doubt...
You cats keep beetin' up your chops
I had turn you over to the cops
I dig this spiel I'm going way on your gate
Don't cop your broom pop or buddy or mate
You run your mouth and I'll run my business brother
You run your mouth and I'll run my business brother
You tell everybody I'm busted
You talk so much you got me disgusted
You run your mouth and I'll run my business brother
Yeh, you run your mouth and I'll run my business brother
You run your mouth and I'll run my business brother
You start up telling me you're my pal
End up telling how to handle my gal
You run your mouth and I'll run my business brother
You run your juicy mouth and I'll run my business brother
You run your juicy mouth and I'll run my business brother
You're always telling me what to do
Saying "I wouldn't do that if I was you"
You run your mouth and I'll run my business brother
(instrumental break)
You clamp your liver lips and I'll run my business brother
Just clamp your liver lips and I'll run my business brother
If I follows your advice on how to make dough
I'd been in the jailhouse long ago
You run your mouth and I'll run my business brother
Yeh, you run your juicy mouth and I'll run my business brother
Just you run your mouth and I'll run my business brother
You tell everybody I'm busted
You talk so much you got me disgusted
You run your mouth and I'll run my business brother
