Few are about music these days, who are producing what they think fits the description. Most want to be famous, and think a few Karaoke trophies at home qualifies them.
Mark Knopfler said something along the lines of, "its all about fame, 15 minutes of fame, and not about the music. Real music takes time, hard work, blood, sweat and tears, its about the love of music, and the craft of musicianship..."
Meatloaf said something along the lines of: "Its all about fame. Hell, I lived in a car for 2 years, because every cent went on music..."
Without the work, there is no real passion, no craft, no art, no soul.. without the pain and hardship, there is no real committing of oneself to the music. I feel sick at the thought..
