Yeah, but as someone who was alive back then, rent was a fuckton cheaper. Unemployment benefits were never good, but they were much higher than they are now (at least in my country). I'm not saying it was easy, I'm saying you were much less likely to end up homeless than you are now. And I say this as someone who had to move from a rural area to a major city for education, and had very little financial support (my parents were supportive, I could have moved home, but I couldn't go to university AND stay home).

I'm not gonna gainsay your experience, but there's a reason songs like 'Mother Mother' resonated with people. Avoiding homelessness often meant having a bunch of roommates and going without things like food or heat. Costs have gone up, no doubt, but I just don't think the issue is that the starving musician was not a starving musician 30 years ago. I think the issue is that the starving musician will have less of a chance of getting out of that situation because it's harder for them to get their music heard, and because fewer people are willing to pay for it.

If I may, something that really steams me is the attitude that "art should be free." It should be accessible, certainly, but an environment where no one is expected to pay for art is one in which only the rich and people lucky enough to land rich patrons can afford to produce it.
