At least half my life isn't over.

It's all about what you've done with it, rather than what you're not going to do with it.

Antiquated-not 'antiqued', which is not a word that I know of. The smiley at the end of my sentence suggests a SOH. Learn to go with the flow fella.

I'm going to live till I'm at least one hundred so a third sounds better.

I don't really care if someone "sells out" or not; if the music is still great, that's all that matters to me.

Of course, "selling out" can drastically decrease the quality of music, but the two aren't necessarily correlated.

Well I know in the immediate future I'll be finishing 6th form, going to university to continue my law and welsh (language) studies. Easy degree the second one, it's my first language.

Getting played on the radio isnt selling out. I've heard the Melvins and Primus being played on our national radio station

I feel like some people are misinterpreting me. Let me reiterate:

At any given moment, whenever a band starts to sell more records, switch to a bigger label, play bigger venues, or embrace a poppier sound, there is always whisperings (although, in some cases shouting) of "selling out", a term thrown around far too often if you ask me.

Unless a band actually changes their musical aesthetic in order to become more popular, aka, make more money, it is not "selling out" This means..

Selling T-Shirts at hot topic
Selling music to commercials
Changing style
Being played on MTV/radio

Is not selling out unless the music has been deliberately changed in order to sell more albums.

I'd love to be able to sell out.

This mansion won't pay for itself.

Who gives a fuck what some bunch of kids who've never had a full time job or had to support themselves think.

This is probably the approach i'd take too.
People can laugh and laugh at Mick Hucknall or some twat but at the end of the day while you think you're on your highhorse he's has literal stables and sleeps on piles of money.

To re-iterate my previous point: Who fudging cares?
