what seems to be a bit baffling to me, all came together listening to RadioMargaritaville a few minutes ago - this song:

Makin’ Music For Money by Alex Harvey 

When I woke up this morning
I was tired as I could be
I think I was counting my money
When I should have been counting sheep

My agent he just called me
and told me what I should be
If I would make my music for money
Instead of making music for me

Chorus
I said I know that this may sound funny
But money don’t mean nothin’ to me
I won’t make my music for money, no
I’m gonna make my music for me

He said that people only buy the love songs
Rock and roll and not too long
He said son you got to be commercial
If you want to turn the people on

And I said turning on the people
Now that’s a beautiful place to be
But if I spend my time makin’ them a rhyme
Well who’s gonna turn on me?

Chorus

Well now, I went up the country
And I’ll tell you all about the scene
I found a place with much charm and much grace
That was untouched by the music machine
Well the people where havin’ a good time
Makin’ music all day long
And nobody cared if they ever got paid
One penny for playin’ a song

Chorus

when I went and pulled these lyrics above - I was struck by this part:
"I found a place with much charm and much grace
That was untouched by the music machine"

kind of eerie the way it hit me.
