But see that's what I was saying earlier. If an artist is dependent on anybody and tailors their creative energies with any sponsor in mind, there is going to be some effect, just like when you give a politician money (if you're a big business or union or something). I'm saying that you do what you do, and if somebody else likes it enough to make you rich, fine. If enough people like it enough just to pay the bills, fine too. But any artist, unless they are willing to please, has to realize at some point that you have to do what you do for yourself first, and anybody else after that.
