Dont worry over the awards! So many people are concerned with winning this award or that award. They set it as the end all be all goal and then begin to lose site of the original goal, lose common sense and lose smart business sense. Often times, this is followed by making decisions that will hurt their career, chances at long term success as well as losing percentages and ownership they will never get back. Work to understand the dream you want and how to execute it. Dont get lost in the delusions. A Grammy doesn’t mean that much anymore. I think it is a greater award where an artist has a sustaining amount of sales, sustaining amount of touring and sustaining amount of income while keeping majority control of their art and their career.

Well, I’m glad I’m not alone on this.

Bands obsess with wanting to win awards like Battle of the Bands stuff and other stupid songwriting contests or radio station contests. I mean, who cares about all that, right? Like I said in a different blog post, that stuff will MEAN NOTHING TO ME!

It’s  more rewarding when people are supporting your music: listening to it, buying it and going to your shows. That’s all they should care about. The love of music.
