Maybe when you're dropping albums as hot as me and my rich IDM friends are,
you'll tell Harvey Weinstein, "No Harvey, no, I don't want your million
dollar advance. I only want half a million." Then you'll get laughed out of
the club and have to join Bill Gates on the curb begging for pocket change
from me when I come through in a fur coat and 4 Rolex watches on each arm.
Jesse, let me tell you a secret: people who make "music for the sake of
music" make BAD music.
Go over to mp3.com and click around for a bit, you'll see what I mean.
Regular people just can't make good music. They don't have the hunger, the
ambition to go higher and higher, necessary to. And they certainly don't
understand what it's like to be a star with gold on and different styles of
pants and shoes to buy for the MTV music awards.
