...that Semel needs to worry much these days. Yahoo! and other search engines have been on a roll. After years of uncertainty about the business model for Internet companies, online advertising revenues have taken off. Google, the biggest search engine, booked a 118% increase in total 2004 revenue, to $3.2 billion, and Yahoo! has kept pace, jumping 120% to $3.57 billion (thanks in part to acquisitions of Inktomi and Overture).

I mean if there’s any point in life when it makes sense to play rock n’ roll, it’s now, right? At this point, though, I’m hesitant about turning music into a career just because that might make it a chore rather than a joy, and also it’s not easy being a musician these days, so support your bands...
