1. I've never been in a band where I was not expressing myself...

...but I'm an old (circa 1978) punk rocker.

So it hasn't been a regular job, such as what I think is your experience.

Plus, I have not been working within the orchestra/chamber group/jazz band genres, so I am likewise unqualified in my response to your question.

That said, I have performed live and written/performed/engineered/produced and released original material for over thirty years, and I'm a voting member of NARAS, so I'm pretty serious about being musically expressive, first and foremost - everything else comes after that.

So, to answer, TV and film portrayals of musicians have no effect on me whatsoever, other than, hopefully, amusement.

I'm curious, what instrument(s) do you play?
