Mike, You make sense arguing that luck plays a role but not an overly significant role in a successful music career. Talent, attitude and hard work are more important than luck, the same way they are in most other endeavors. Of course human beings are vain creatures and it's not uncommon for people to deny that luck played any role whatsoever in whatever success they may have achieved, preferring to attribute their own achievements entirely to hard work and talent. That's just the way the world goes round.

Write from your heart, not what you think others want to hear.
