Is this related to the observation that artists—be they musicians, painters, sculptors—are often very bad at the promotional and ‘business’ side of ‘showbussiness’ and art while artists who are much less self critical about what they release (Tommy Wisseau comes to mind but he’s not a good example) manage to enjoy startling success because of their relentless ability to self promote even what needs a little more ‘polish’?
