Hey Todd,

No, I don't think that's the case.

The industry has always been what it's been.

I don't really see any change, other than that there is now a polarisation. Big acts vs the guy in his studio bedroom wanting to make it big via youtube. There is no middle ground anymore.

I was once simply a working musican, not well known, who made a damn fine living just from playing music.

I think what the older muso's are saying is the same. It's not about hit records, or chances missed. It's about just loving what you do, and being able to get a living from being a professional person.

Now ? Heck, I don't waste my time. Like Tom, I'd rather put my efforts into a younger generation and ( hopefully ) give some guidance in the places I didn't do so good at.

That includes "wanting to be famous over work, talent, and even more work"
