Can't disagree with that. but on the other hand, I don't think it's far-fetched to say that any "artist" reaches a certain point in their "art" where they have to ask themselves a question - "why am I doing this?". It becomes a question of time and effort. They have to assess, whether they should continue doing it. Many quit at that point. Maybe most. Some decide, to take a different route, to harness what they've done so far to help them continue with their pursuits - to help them stay motivated - to help them prosper and strive to get even better than they ever thought they would or could. Yes, many times this is what is known as "selling out". And yes, Moby sold out. But do you know what, I can't help but be happy for him. Just like I can't help but be happy for Trent Reznor. They worked for a LONG ASS portion of their lives, doing what they loved to do. And for it to "pay" off in the end, you know what, more power to them. Good for them. And, it makes me feel like they finally got the respect, recognition, and yes, money, they deserved. Because true natural skill is few and far between. And it should be recognized and credited. The end.
