Brian: I’m an artist.
Daisy: What kind of thing do you do?
Brian: Anger.... Pain... Fear... Aggression....
Daisy: Watercolours?
Brian: It’s a bit more complex than that.

At what point do you become an artist?
Is it when you book a gig? When you make some money? When you get a record deal? When you start being an arrogant, hypocritical fuckwit and telling other people what to do?*
Stop all this ‘us and them’ bullshit and take a look around at the billions of talented folks. You are not special.
You are not entitled to make a living from music and the Government has no obligation to protect your livelihood. The market is changing and if you can’t survive it’s nobody’s fault but your own. Stop being a little bitch. That’s how it goes in the real world.
*It’s when you buy your first pair of Cuban heels. Fact.
