Suggested title: It's all who you know if you work in a field like music. For some people, burning bridges and telling people what they can go do to themselves is a cherished past time that they have earned. In my opinion the hard-line approach to success is far more satisfying. Imagine making an opportunity for yourself that no one can take away because they had no part in giving it to you. That's exhilarating to know that no one has any power or influence over you. If that's not your goal, then what's the point? You might as well go work at a grocery store or something.
