Then why are you making music to begin with? For some elite group of
people who can appreciate it? I prefer to enjoy myself. If I come up
with something great, hey, cool. If I don't, fuck it, I had fun. Usually
I come up with something that a reasonably large group of people *also*
considers fun.

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups. (I saw a
t-shirt that said that once. I've always wanted to go buy about a
hundred of them and recruit a bunch of random folks to wear them in
various places while I took a picture. That would be an interesting web
page.)
