This one is a big one. It is a deep one. It is probably a challenging one for many too. I am calling things as I see them and pointing out how the mindset we have been conned into is a lot of the reason that we feel we are failing so hopelessly in our attempts to make the music we feel (genuinely) driven to do. DO NOT abuse me for this. Discussion is welcome, abuse, condescension, ridicule etc will not be tolerated. Some verboten words & concepts are used to illustrate the points I am making. In no way am I ever to be taken as if I am supporting those atrocities. Raising them is to help people see clearly how this looks so we can choose to change path.

Headings are deliberately "imperfect" to help illustrate my point. Plus I thought it was funny in a world that insists that everything be on the Grid.
