Why Are These Musicians So Unhappy?

Have you ever noticed that musicians in promo pics almost never smile? Here are a couple of examples:

I think I have figured out why all of these musicians are so unhappy. If you notice the location of the photo shoots of most bands - a field, an old barn, a rock outcropping, a brick wall, a railroad track, etc. - then you might also have noticed that there are others who have invaded the same location...WAY TOO HAPPY ENGAGED COUPLES! This is why the musicians are so unhappy.

If you had to wait for the a giggling engaged couple to take their photos, in order to shoot your band promo shots, you might not be happy either.
