Oh I agree, I'm just pointing out the general impression is quite the
opposite of what Peter suggested.

Or as Eminem says :

"Or for anyone who's ever been through shit in their lives
Till they sit and they cry at night wishing they'd die
Till they throw on a rap record and they sit, and they vibe
We're nothing to you but we're the fucking shit in they eyes"

which, honestly, is what I do with Brahms. And I think the above is
one of the better explanations of what leads performers to perform.
