51. I can only tell you that my intent when trying to create something...
...is to share a part of myself.

I won't associate an artistic creation with an irrelevant product being marketed by a company whose sole interest is making money.
That contributes to the belief in our society that the only worth a person (or thing) has is their ability to generate income for someone else.

It is all pervasive, and almost impossible to escape.

There is nothing cynical about wanting your music to be heard, but I don't see many artists giving their music away to companies for free use in their commercials just for the exposure.

Hmm...do you think just maybe that's not the primary motivating factor?
