Go if you wish....
But remember this : walk away now and you walk away from your skills, your vocations. Leaving our youth with nothing but digitally-sample-techno-grooves-quasi-synth-rhythms, pseudo songs of violence-laden ganster-rap-acid-pop and sacharine soulless slush.
Depart now and you seperate yourself from the vital legacies of Robert Johnson, Muddy waters, Willie Dixon, Jimmy Reed, Memphis Slim, Blind Boy Fully, Louis Jordan, Little Walter, Big Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson One and Two, Otis Redding, Jackie Wilson, Elvis Presley and Robert K. Weiss (!?)
Turn your backs and you snuff out the fragile candles of Blues, Rock, Rhythm & Blues and Soul.
When those flames expire, the light of the world is extinguished because the music which has moved mankind for the past seven decades will wither and die from abandonment and neglect.
Elwood Blues
