James,

    Thank you for you comments. I wonder if the concepts here are 1. The
    sense of entitlement and 2. Marketing. 

    I have real problems with the sense of entitlement I find in the
    western cultures. I also find far too many "artists" unwilling to
    learn the necessary business/marketing skills that would help them be
    more successful with their products. Yet they whine about how the
    market is not paying or paying attention to them. 

    Risk taking entrepreneurs. We are either this or we work for one if
    we can't hoe the row ourselves. 

    I have not found that "making it" in this business any harder than
    "making it" in any of the other endeavors that I have been involved
    in.
