I'm not proud of that.

Russ we ALL have to sell out to make a living in some way. Years ago I used to play in a band fulltime opening for major acts like INXS and The Divynyls. The problem was we weren't making much money. But when we rehearsed we would take our breaks at the local cafe and drink coffee and play video games. At the time I was teaching myself how to program a computer and realized I could make those video games. Back then music was my living and video games were my hobby. I switched them and made video games my living and playing music my hobby. So we all sell out in some way. But as long as we continue to play music the sacrifice is worth it. Making a good living is the bottom line.
