Ethic, emotional, moral, wealth... LOVE! :D very abstract words. Their
definitions is bound to your first experience of the feelings behind them :)
But you are right, at least, i understand your point and relate to it. I
chose the same path as you. I don't want to deal with the music industry.
(It's dying anyway :D) And I despise everything that is related to
"idolatry". I am basically not so compatible with the "rock'n'roll" as you
mention it i guess. Althought i must say there is quite a lot of
rock'n'roll in my life. Just not so shiny or glamorous... LOL (

I work part time in a powerplant. I have the same task as Homer Simpson:
looking after a machine that looks after itself, alone in a control room
with infinite knowledge: internet.
But in my powerplant we burn trash instead of atoms. It pays good enough to
have 3 saturdays and a sunday each week.
Living according to my own definitions is what makes me happy. Doing music
in genres i fancy, instead of the ones that are expectef from me.
But then again, i can afford happyness since i have absolutley 0 debts.
