Ethic, emotional, moral, wealth... LOVE! :D very abstract words. Their
definitions is bound to your first experience of the feelings behind them :)
But you are right, at least, i understand your point and relate to it. I
chose the same path as you. I don't want to deal with the music industry.
(It's dying anyway :D) And I despise everything that is related to
"idolatry". I am basically not so compatible with the
"rock'n'roll" as you
mention it i guess. Althought i must say there is quite a lot of
rock'n'roll in my life. Just not so shiny or glamorous... LOL (

I work part time in a powerplant. I have the same task as Homer Simpson:
looking after a machine that looks after itself, alone in a control room
with infinite knowledge: internet.
But in my powerplant we burn trash instead of atoms. It pays good enough to
have 3 saturdays and a sunday each week.
Living according to my own definitions is what makes me happy. Doing music
in genres i fancy, instead of the ones that are expectef from me.
But then again, i can afford happyness since i have absolutley 0 debts.

I work as a "Letter carrier" (aka
mailman, postman, whatever) and been
surprised at how many of my peers also make music. I think part of what
makes it atractive is the amount of time outside and away from any boss.
Also a willingness to experience the world even when the sun is not
shinning.
As for music as a hobby vs. job... I think in the late 70s when I was
making the choice to do music or get a steady job (so I could own a house
instead of rent one), it was already obvious, that to make it big you had
to be willing to give up any ideals or belief... and make someone else
rich. The time of being able to make your own music and do well had
already ended (pretty much). There has been good music made since then,
but it is hard to find in stores or on the radio.
"Mister postman look and see
If there's a letter in your bag for me
I been waiting such a long time
Since I heard from that girl of mine"
Rock'n'Roll, Punk Rock, IOW real live.
I Love it, I prefer to carry brigs on a building lot, than to give a
lecture on audio engineering or rock music at an academy.
And again, this is my rock'n'roller _emotion_. I don't condemn anybody
being VDT, being an academic teaching music or what ever.
Everybody has to decide what is important for her/him. Don't care about
ethics! Listen to your heart!
