Remonetize? How about revolutionize? Money + music = bad combination.
We've all become way too busy to make music ourselves. Way back, before we had electronic music feeding machines hooked up to our disentegrating cochleas, the vast majority of people could actually play an instrument. They gathered together, learned songs, and were active participants in music making. Now we're all passive sheep listening to the latest dross passed down by the suits in skyscrapers. The industrialization of music destroyed this once valuable aspect of culture. Oh well. Progress.
Rather than figure out a way to support egotistical self-centered attitude pumped glam pop stars, find a way to make music yourself. And don't say you lack the skill: that's another myth the music money has passed down. Music making is as human as eating, dreaming, and copulating. We're musical creatures to the marrow.
