Nothing great to "show for it"? Since when was listening to music about showing off something to friends? Well, guess what? It isn't! It's about finding personal, yes, PERSONAL enjoyment in something. So all those "hours of hard labour" do in fact result in good things, but strictly for the person himself. Chances are he derives a greater diversity of pleasures from music than people who just listen to the same old rubbish all the time. That is, U2, Keane, Snow Patrol, Razorlight, and the rest of the adult alternative RUBBISH on Virgin Radio.
