Heh. So serious...
If you wanna go into a bit about "roots", I could say that because my roots are in the blues, I could be a penniless bluesman for the rest of my life, and I wouldn't care because at least I would be doing something that I cherish and love. I wouldn't be lying, either.
If you veiw success as being the next big thing, that's great, but for musicians like me, the only thing we care about is doing what we love.
If you're the same kind of guy, I really admire that, and I'll have to say that there aren't enough people who live by the same philosophy.
If you're not, that's okay, too. Whatever floats your boat.
I'm just saying that I think that the reason I personally don't like a lot of these mainstream bands is the fact that they have worked their ass off for what they are, and that because they've become so concerned with where the next paycheck is coming from, they've forgotten how to just be who you are and how to express yourself and not what other people want to hear.
