I’m so glad neither my brother nor sister in law became musicians. You’ve confirmed what I’ve long thought since my days of playing in a rock and roll band.
Musicians are largely a bunch of self indulgent, self important blow hards.
Music is no different from woodworking, masonry, stonework, welding, electrical or plumbing. It’s a field of endeavor like any other. The passion to do a good job comes from within. However musicians seem to be the only ones who need their egos stroked constantly by others.
And if they don’t get it they stink off whining and blaming others for their inability to perform when the time comes for them to step up and do their jobs.

I was thinking more of those who play substantial music.
“Musicians are largely a bunch of self indulgent, self important blow hards.”
I’ve had two careers, neither of which was music, and one of which saw me retiring as a LCDR from the Navy, but FU anyway for calling me a self indulgent, self important blow hard.

You, sir, are a Philistine. There is no way to convince a Philistine that the deficiency lies with him, so I will not try.
Out.
