My music, songwriting. I've never once had the desire to make money from it. In fact, one of the things that killed my band is I discovered the bass player was charging a cover for what I had assumed were free shows and then keeping it.

I found that being in a band and trying to make money together is a good way to kill a friendship. Just jamming though and having fun? That's way better.
