Agree with Mooku. I feel local artist should explore different
avenues in arts performances and not from themselves away. If you
are sincere about music and art forms then you need money and
opportunity to get the exposure for others to enjoy. Having an
attitude does not go well with the public appreciating your art
interpretation. The public is a good score card of your
performances. Why should a talent be selfishly kept to
oneself?
What's wrong with money? I come to terms that we NEED the money to
survive or to further good works and charity. I have been to
poverty stricken places in asia and many times I wish I have the
money and influence to help these children.
If 9to5 jobs get paid, why shouldn't you get paid for something
which you have convictions about and made a career of? Manager and
directors are paid hefty sums, why shouldn't you?
Of fame? When you are performing, fame naturally follows be it good
or bad, you decide. After all that's been said. Fame and fortune
cannot corrupt anyone unless they allow themselves to be
corrupted.
