It's a standard rock cliche - > " we > make the music for ourselves - and if anyone else likes it it's a > bonus". it is a standard overused cliche.... but that sentence sums up how i feel about music... but im not trying to make a living out of music, i in fact dont want to make a living out of music! i dont write enough songs for a start, i write songs because i *enjoy* writing songs and i write the music that i want to hear. id like that music on vinyl because im a trainspotter like the rest of us. steve
