My personal relationship with music is not that way at all. Does that make me less "legitimate" a musician? Guys like TW might argue that we who must put in 40 hours a week doing something other than music are sacrificing time that could have been spent just making music. On the other hand, consider, like Trev says about, that we don't have to play the music business game. Unless you are already very rich and need not worry about income, you have to play the music business game if you don't have a fulltime job doing something other than music. Let's not forget there is no right or wrong here.
