Yes many music artists sell out for fame and success. It is enticing when you are young. In my 20's I could see that side of the music business and how cut throat it was. For some it is a drug. You get taken advantage of by the power hungry money makers and compromises are made. It becomes a money driven business and the songwriter/ musician is a mere pawn at each beckon call of their ruler. Their values, beliefs and music itself gets raped. Artistic credibility gets shoved to the curb for record sales and the musician only walks away with a small token of their real worth. Sad but true. I am proud that you did not resort or compromise what you hold dear and true. values and music artistry should trump any money motivator that is dangled in the attempted rape of the music or musician. Again thanks for sounding the alarm as Kurt Cobain did. He i s no longer able to sound that alarm as he is no linger with us. You are and you have done it admirably. Good song and great post!
