I have been making music for decades. Not professionally of course, but only for myself.
I think in the rush for fandom we forget that it is quite possible to be the best musician you know.
Music is one of those healing substances that will always work and doesn't require you to invest heavily or be addicted or sign a subscription. It will just heal you.
The fact that this has been industrialized and indeed weaponised in the Western world is a bit of a travesty - but we must never forget that our music schools produce 4 - 5 million new musicians a year.
This is why I say, the only rock and roll industry is the one where the guitars are being made and new instruments designed and fashioned - for us all.
The idols come and go. That old synthesizer will have a lot, lot longer use than the CD rack ..
