Some people always wondered why I’m always brutally honest about “music” and “bands”. Well, here’s the thing. A lot of people out there mistakenly think that the world of music is such a “happy” and “lovely” world, all the time. Yes, I agree that music can be a lovely and happy thing, but not always. You have to be real about stuff, ya know. The second you’re brutally honest about something, like say something bad about a band that a lot of people like or something they are doing, you’re all of a sudden, the badguy just because you were honest. This is what I always tried to do about music. Bring out the truth about “things” that people don’t understand.
Music is one crazy world. Obsessive fans will always side with the band, no matter what you say about them. That’s how people interact in the music world.
A lot of bands and acoustic acts, obsess with opportunity. Trying to get to that next level in music. A lot of them want to move forward and get bigger opportunities. As I always say, I just want to enjoy myself. I don’t care about “fame”, “popularity”, “money” or “being a rock star”. I just do this for fun and make myself happy, pure and simple.
I just like writing my songs, playing the gigs, I’m set. That’s all I need. That’s all I want.
This is why some people think I’m a “negative” person when it comes to music discussion, ’cause I like to bring the truth out about things. This is just the way I am. You need to have different feelings when it comes to music ’cause it would be boring if it was a “happy’ world, all the time. The music world is not always “happy”. Everyone is positive about music just to be friendly, not everyone have to be that kind of person.
