Are you being criticized?

In the early 1960s, opinionist William F Buckley, Jr., wrote: 


"The Beatles are not merely awful, I would consider it sacrilegious to say anything less than that they are godawful.... They are so unbelievably horrible, so appallingly unmusical, so dogmatically insensitive to the magic of the art, that they qualify as crowned heads of anti-music."


If we stopped and quit everytime someone "important" criticized us, then our "music" would stop. Keep on singing your song. Keep on writing that book...
