It all boils down to the individuals perception. Fact.

Music never had any "meaning" in music in the first place.

There is no meaning in anything, except the meaning that we give things, and then forget that it was us who gave the thing meaning.

Sounds like what the guy in the OP is really saying is that he is unwilling to accept the reality that all is flux, all is change.

We seem to be living in a age of ADHD, where people want more, newer,better stuff right now, not tomorrow, so if you don't move at that speed, you get left behind.

Trying to make a classic track that will "Last" seems like a bit of a joke in the present climate

My guess is that he no longer felt important once his moment faded, and many artists need approval and to feel important as much as they need to create.

Money does come into it as well, but I think the emotional side of it is very strong, the feeling of being important, of making a mark in other peoples lives, sharing experience with them.

Do you think someone like Jimi Hendrix would stop playing guitar if he wasn't getting paid?
I reckon he would still play for free just for the buzz of it anyway, he seemed to be in deeper than most, I would guess the fame and money were a fringe benefit to him.
