Nobody in the history of the world has ever started to learn an instrument, which is where it all begins after all, with the forethought of wanting his/her 'ego stroked.'

As much as I don't care a lick about your opinion, I wrote "create and release music for public consumption." Nowhere did I say that no one should learn and play music for themselves.
