I'm not in this for money anyway, that's a nice bonus and if I can do good things with it when it comes- great, and like I said there's no way I'm making a living off my art, not currently anyway - but I'm still in many ways in a better position than so many bands and musicians that are way more established in other arenas, including some seasoned live musicians. That's really weird.
On the one hand I'm not complaining, on the other I think it's ridiculous how undervalued music and art is.
