Well you don't have to worry about it any way. I just tweeted about the subject now. Personally I look forward to the replies from our fellow musicians.

You really should talk to your band or your manager about it though. At the least you might learn a thing or two about each other.

[ It was becoming increasingly tempting to get up and leave the grump to himself. Doctor had realized Yan was too stubborn to listen to anyone else's opinions. What was he doing sitting at the table with someone who outright insulted him any way? ]

You think they're gonna sit me down and have an intervention? I play guitar, bass, fiddle, and I can sing and write lyrics. I clean up nice and I look good without a shirt. That's what kind of commodity I am. As long as I go along with what the higher-ups tell me to do and don't get into any trouble they don't tell me to get into, no one gives a fuck what I do.

[When Yan's settled in for a fight, there's no moving him. He doesn't even particularly like getting into arguments, but he also can't put up with idealists with their heads in the clouds who won't accept the way the real world works.]

All you're gonna get is a bunch of "if it weren't for music, I wouldn't be a rich musician" from our co-workers, a bunch of fans fawning all over you because they want you to pay attention to them, and probably some assholes posting pictures of their dicks. It's the internet.

I'm so sorry! I must have accidentally marked this as read in my inbox. ><

[ Doctor looks through the quickly growing mass of replies to his tweet. ]

Au contraire! I have all ready received multiple replies talking about music therapy and love songs that connect couples when they're away from each other. Our fellow professionals are saying the life has given them family and new homes. So you see that's the first thing that comes to their minds- not gold plated toilet seats.

You should slow down before you say anything more. You've all ready contradicted yourself, Yan.

First you accuse me of being in music for nothing more than the paycheck- that I'm in it for the wrong reasons and I should have a higher aspiration. Then the moment I start to talk about higher aspirations and asking you about yours, you say it's all about the money! The very thing you scoffed at a moment before.

I'm starting to think you just want to look down on me regardless of what I say. So much so that you'll change your opinion right on the spot.
