what a class quote mate. and youve done it justice with this let me know if you do music.

Funny, a friend of mine from another site said first and foremost you have to please yourself first. While I wouldn't disagree with what he said, there's no way to know how many views each song or lyric gets at least here, but if you can reach somebody whether they post or not here or elsewhere, then that too is what it's about. You might be surprised in who you reach. It may be a message, a line, a section, a phrase and you wouldn't even know it in some cases. Speaking of phrases, that one you quoted I wouldn't agree with regarding the second half. "Than to write for the public and have no self". The public meaning those who look at, listen to, view and even comment do not define the self. Being invisible comes in shades even to those passing over something. Lol I look at the general public like a vacuum. You wouldn't want to get completely sucked in.
