So you wonder. Why don’t I play more gigs? Why don’t I make a real album? Why don’t I sign to an indie label, go on US tours with my music? The answer is simple, guys. I just don’t care!!!! I never cared for popularity, fame or money, and bands/music artists seems to be obsessing with that stuff lately. Yes, I can understand musicians want to get their music heard by as many people as possible but honestly, musicians need to not worry about that stuff too much.

I never really cared about opportunity in music. Never cared about bringing my music to the next level. I never had that kind of ego if you have noticed.

Sure, I like getting my music heard and I like getting new fans. I would like to get a band going and get a CD made, all that stuff myself someday. The reason I didn’t do any of this yet is because I don’t want to get so ahead of myself. In other words, not rushing things.

The thing is, music is just for all in good fun for me. It’s my passion and in my blood. If I don’t get all the success and popularity, that’s fine. I’ll just continue to do what I do. Write songs, play my guitar, and rock out. Bands in facebook are desperate for popularity and wanting to get known.

That stuff maybe nice, but you need to worry about your own music and not worry about publicity. Writing songs is pretty much all I care about, it’s a drug to me.

The reason I’m writing this post is because I’ve been wrongfully criticized and judged by other bands, that I just sit at home and do nothing while other bands go out there getting success. Proves my point that you bands out there have the biggest egos I’ve ever seen.

I feel that I’m a successful musician if I continue to write the songs that I’m proud of writing. If I don’t get to play a big festival or don’t get to open for a famous band, that’s okay with me. Screw that shit. It makes me happy enough just writing the songs, putting them out there and having people listening to it.

I don’t have the rock star attitude. I do music for myself, plain and simple.
