forgeagain Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 I believe you need to be at least 35 to be president, no matter what your occupation, so I have another 8 years before I can run. I can be the first vegan candidate to run for president who doesn't also think he was abducted by aliens! (I KNOW I was abducted by aliens!) Not sure what I'm going to do now that I'm a lawyer. Originally the plan was music business, but I sort of hate the music business. I guess it'd be something I'm well-versed in though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtw88 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Congrats. For the love of god though, don't be a lawyer for the RIAA. That organization is up there with the KKK and NAMBLA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forgeagain Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 Haha the RIAA? You've got to be kidding. Wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole. However, I might be interested in working for the FTC or something like that. Love that antitrust shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmonaut Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 yes, congrats on passing the bar. I was going to go to law school but I decided to pursue econ instead. You can set up shop representing people who have been fucked over by the rias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theambulancereview Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 There's plenty of bands that could use some good legal advice, I'd try and shop that around first, Lawyers are the first thing an artist should have on their team. And congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forgeagain Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 Yeah, that was pretty much my plan. I know there are plenty of band-friendly lawyers out there, but as somebody who has actually played in bands and runs a record label (admittedly, a small one) I probably understand everyone's point of view more than the typical music attorney.

Yeah, all of that can only help your position, if you understand all the things that go on in the music industry, the ways an artist can get screwed, and your experience of being an artist and running a label, I'd say you've got a great shot at being successful.
