Why does not making money make him "cool" and "humble"?
I can't think of a better way to sum up the stupidity so rampant in the music industry right now. No wonder the industry is failing.
If you believe in starving for your art then go starve. In fact, if losing money makes you holy (or a better artist), then why not open your studios for free and play other people's songs exclusively? You'd be Jesus himself. Super cool and humble. Hell, live on the streets--you'll be great in no time.
Starve long enough and sooner or later you'll realize that it doesn't make you any better, just hungrier, more despondent and more angry.
It will also show you that insisting on what you're worth doesn't make you a bad person. Or--in industry terminology--arrogant or uncool.
