MOTM

>>Answer: dedication to a personal vision of art.<<

I thought that was what CD's were for.  Seems like his vision of art was lost 
on that crowd.

>>Not everyone in this world is focused on "What's in it for ME?!?"<<

It should be "what's the best use of my limited time for creating something new 
and what will be enjoyable to the greatest number of people".  Seems like 
roaming the country and playing for a couple dozen people is more the life of a 
starving muscian.

>>c) Robert enjoys travelling<<

But travelling with a boat load of gear doesn't sound very enjoyable. Maybe 
that's just my vision of hell.

>>d) Robert enjoys meeting people as much as he enjoys playing<<

He'd do better at NAMM.
