Musicians are doing fine? I'm sorry but you base that on what? Because I live in NYC and am acquainted with a representative cross section of professional and aspiring musicians across several genres and including rock stars, sidemen, classical musicians, jazz musicians, jingle writers, you name it.
And overall, most people are hurting. It is harder than it was. Some people who write for TV and commercials are doing ok, some great. Some mid sized bands are doing great. Most everyone else is taking a beating.

I remember the happy 1990s. 13-14 year old kids could earn more money than their parents writing websites for companies, and other kids were working as consults for tech companies. Now days, things like that doesn't seem to happen anymore. It really is harder now.
