quick comment: yeh-- if you chose to make music as a career, you have to produce a desired product, otherwise you're gonna be living on the streets-- and then, what does it matter if 'you're being true to the music' cause no one's gonna listen to you anyway. so, in my opinion, by the definition we've given it, chosing music as a career is selling out. besides, even the great musicians, beethoven, mozart, etc etc had to write for the mainstream to finance the music they wrote for themselves...
though i kinda get the feel that the 'bad selling out' we are circling here is the, what did we call it... umm... 'something pepsi-pop'? i don't remember. i agree with that, but selling out really isn't necessarily bad.

it) for ya. I need your address again so I can mail it. I assume you

ha.
okay-- i'm done now.
