What's wid the uptight aussie mentality towards practicing musicians

Now let's just cut to the chase about music within Australia more specifically Sydney. Everyone i know loves to listen to music @ some point everyday, as for myself there's @ least 1 radio going 24/7 maybe 363 days a year in my home. There's also a large portion of the people i know that play, practice &/ or study music to some degree. Now getting warmer to the point. . . . the Aussie style of music is generally FULL F*@KIN' ON! Our rock music is thrashing. . screaming. . ear cracking. . rhythmic & can easily change the atmosphere to an uptempo aggressive & sometimes violent occasion. Knowing these things I've not heard anyone say i wish Australian music would just pop a Valium or a chill pill. Within Sydney, Newtown is a music, musician mecca. You can walk around the streets in the afternoon with the sun smiling down on you & hear off in the not to far distance the snap of the snare drum and the crack of a cymbal & .. . . screeching guitar with male vocals roaring on the mic. or some one pounding out heavy enthralling melodies on there piano that could only make you smile & click your fingers. or a drummer tapping away holding a good rhythm & mixing it up wid some rolls & ride work. Now these people, musos, Ferrel's what have you, need to live somewhere just like everyone else. . . they also need to practice there craft, bread & butter, personal interest. Generally unless ur a world class world traveling musician your going to be practicing @ your home as there's no money for an office or studio. All of this post is due to my neighbour getting pissed off & pretty much threatening me in a spin less fashion to not play my drums for almost three months. . I've got sound proofing underlay not much more i can do unless i invest allot!!!! of money. I was interested in going overseas to study for a short period of time but the drum school has crazy prices that wouldn't benefit you to go unprepared. Vent vent vent!
