I spent much of my life in the company of unpublished writers and poets
who blame their failure on "the system."  It never occurred to them that
their "art" sucked.  The only advise I can offer in such circumstances
is "get another job."

Ps.  I see that in the new brave world of McMusic, a kid who can play
three notes and push a few computer buttons is not a taylorised-down
musical assembly line worker, while a classically trained musician with
years of rigorous training and experience is.  

War is peace, freedom is slavery.
