Yeah...Coldplay, Nickelback (insert band name here) being like Nirvana, that's really an alien thought to you? What?
But isn't it "the rest of the world" that matters to people trying to make it in bands? I'm not interested in your gleeful prose about how the rest of the world caught on late...of course they did! DUH! that's how it goes...by the time In the Aeroplane over the sea hit shit was pretty much over in athens...let me also explain something else to you:
Great artists, even though most that truly are great strive in a period of toil, are ambitious. They have an irrepressible urge that they feel is a personal responsibility to succeed and share their art with the world.
People that live as townies and play in bands that hardly anyone will ever hear are rarely the true artists; don't mistakenly romantically take them for tragic heroes. (Although there is nothing wrong with being a musical hobbyist). They are almost always exactly as they appear: namely, they are conceited, complacent, apathetic, low-lifes.
In short, at least ninety percent of those people are bad news.
