I often feel that my simple perspectives and opinions can be misunderstood also.
No apologizing for that if no harm was warrented.
I can appreciate someone that would tell me I am not doing something right. They can even be a fathead and state things I said that I never even intended to say.
That happens in families.

It is one thing to go with the program and another altogether to to be imprisoned by it.
Take what some big shot says as gospel.

I think that also has had the tendency to deprive a lot of listeners.
It is not only if one genre or the other gets left out.

There are some that won't be able to do things musically just like there are some that can't do certain forms of math.
But a program can never be placed around the song in ones heart and the inspiration and thought that they may have put in it.
Whatever seriousness or not one sees of it.

And often in professional music, inspiration has been forsaken in the name of anothers version of musical purity.
Not all, but much of the time.
