Yeah, I know, one of the oldest lines in the music biz is, "Don't quit your day job."

These people must assume that indie artists actually have day jobs, and who knows where they'd get an idea like that, but I'm here to tell you that their well-meaning advice is, well, mean.

You want to be an artist, you need to starve a little. Not really, but you have to be hungry for the thing that is important to you. Jesus, who wants our relationship to God to be very important to us, said, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness...."

Taking a cue from the Master Teacher, blessed are those indie artists who hunger and thirst after their work, too.

Are you hungry for it?
