Depression clarification

There has been some discussion (1, 2) about my comments in my 2006 resolutions. When I said that rants about the music industry are depressing and exhausting to me, that's all I meant. I'm not saying everyone should shut up or that there's nothing to complain about, just that I personally find it hard to read these days. As a shaky musician analogy, it's kind of like watching your parents fight. Fans are your mom, looking out for your emotional well-being, trying to keep you from getting hurt, and the music industry is your dad, telling you to straighten up, quit your bitching and get a job. I'm sure both sides have great points and both mean well, but I'd rather not be in the house while it's going down.
