Well said and spot on my friend all the bands and musicians all need to take heed to this and have fun it's not about the money or The Prestige it's just about went out there and having fun because without the fun it would just be plain dough misery I'm just there for the money I don't care about anybody else but myself but it's all about having fun and that's what keeps everybody coming back for more.
