It seems to me like folks are "feeling" and you're "feeling" back at them. I know it's always been a business (at least since the very early days, when even being a professional was considered disreputable), but I don't think that necessarily means the business end of things has always been as important as it is now.

For one thing, it seems to me like there could be a huge difference in attitude between a '50s-era player who could have made just as much money doing something mundane and a 21st-century player making millions. It seems like it's just human nature. But, as you say, I'm just "feeling" that.
