I’m getting to the point where I actually hate musicians. They are all a bunch of crybaby azhos. “Waaah!! Waaah! You’re and Anmerican! Don’t sing my song!!!”
the stupid ones-— you have it correct. Remain unknown— leave nothing for an audience who could appreciate your work— but no! The joke way back was and still is for some whiner on stage: “I’ve suffered for my art, and NOW you will Too!” All that you say is true, missing several cogs in their wheels.
