I guess he truly is the artist torm between selling and art - though I argue his commercial stuff (both his own and the stuff he produced) that sold in the stratosphere is both art and successful.

Still, listening to his solo-albums speaks bigger volumes. He simply didn't go for selling. OOTC is maybe an exception, but for the rest one can only conclude: here's a man searching for meaning in his art not for the bucks in his art. Which he already proved that he could. When in this life is that going to sip through, Strand? As so often, I just can't follow some of his fans that seem to disregard what he is telling through his music AND in every fokking interview he gives. Maybe you guys are the reason that he's telling the same story for almost 30 years, simply because people don't seem to "hear" it.
Even worse: After everytime he has to tell the same story that is NOT accepted by the most of us, we conclude he's whining.
