It's one thing to be true to your art, even if your fans are not thrilled with it (most generally will give the 'new' stuff a try anyway and you learn from how well it does as to whether or not you should do it again).

Sorry, pal, but really? It does. Because if no one likes it, you're not going to be making enough money for the media folks to be interested in voting you 'best' for anything....
