People are in to other things. Most people think of music in a different way. Lots of people are consumed by their jobs, sports, hobbies. Sometimes they're one in the same. They just don't listen to music the way we do.
I see no reason to look at it like that, Michael. Everyone likes money. But most artists, even rock and rollers, are in it for the love of what they do.
I've given up on trying to worry about any of that. I'm sure those who get into gardening, for instance are frustrated by people who just don't get it (not the best analogy, but you know what I mean). Let people like what they want.
Just because I think American Idol is the dumbest thing ever, doesn't mean 90% of the people I know don't watch it. It would give me a headache to argue about it. So I just smile and listen to Ozric Tentacles
