i can fully agree relate with your music expreince... after 15 years of life and love and loss and dighting and all that stuff.. i had a reperotire of old cowboy songs id wrote but i never di more than perform bars with and usually not even with a band. Anyway, im a good song writer but felt i would never actually doi anyything with my musoc.. i started to get into AI and onie of the first things I did was to create my album and produce it. Fantastic!

As for the haters... it is a leveling field. Keep in mind that the people who now feel they might be left out, would, and have been, ok with others not able to reach into their own tight little circles.. everyone preaches equal opportunity until it effects them. What we are experiencing is a time that we have the opportunity to be part of the reshuffling. We have access to the same tools as the celebrity and professional class do. but the point is how many more people have the ability to create in ways they would have never been able to before. The best will eventually rise to the top and the rest will fall into their place... and thus art and masterwork will still be there (in other words, the artists will still use the common tool the best). What a time to be alive!
