I have yet to meet a musician worth listening to

music you want with the
available tools maybe, but not if you can make
money using open source
software - that's silly.
I don't understand why his question is silly. I
thought it was rather
sane and straightforward. AFA a musician who's in it for the money or the
art:
well.. that's
rather hard to pin down. Who knows which artist is
"in it for the
money"? You certainly can't tell from their music.
Agreed.
Furthermore, artists must eat,
Nonesense, our musts only include sex and drugs.
and they always find
a way to. There are
the very few that lock themselves away in a run down
shack to create
their art. That's OK with me, but that ain't the
norm today. On the flip
side, there are plenty of musicians who are in it
for the art, but their
art is not particularly good. And there are
musicians that are rich and
their art is wonderful. Art and money are mutually
independent.
I can't recall the article but an interviewer asked
Jon Lennon to describe how becoming rich had effected
him as a musician and an artist. He replied by stating
that he writes his songs while sitting in a much
softer chair.
