I forget what rocker said it ( I want to say it was Rod Stewart in the early 90's), "What's a sell out? Someone selling the art they create? To me that's not a sell out that's someone successful. There are many "noble" artists living in cardboard boxes who would write "Yummy Yummy" if it meant they could have a swimming pool. We're artists, our very existence is to sell our art. The more successful you become, the more you are accused of "selling out"."

I just love people who use the excuse "I use/do this because I LOVE the feeling/joy/happiness it brings me" and expect you to be ok with that as you watch them destroy their life blindly following. My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
