Why can't a long career be boiled down to a single page?

It seems to me the shorter the better. The best resume is just your name.

PS - hundreds of thousands of resumes - wow! How'd that happen? Forty resumes every single work day for twenty years?

I am a recruiter - I have been doing it for more than 12 years. Forty resumes in a day is a very slow day. I personally wrote my own recruitment resume review system to enable me to read resumes extremely fast if I choose.
I'm a self taught dev with a ba in math and 2yrs job experience but have for the past two years worked in restaurant while chasing my music dreams. How do I best go about putting this in my resume? I have thought about a projects section but it doesn't really cover two years. I feel job ready but am not getting through to people. Thanks
