I posted this little rant in facebook yesterday:
“It is really amazing to me, how certain musicians can sometimes be big drama queens, have bad attitudes and short tempers. I expect professionalism, positive, kind & joyful musicians. If a musician decides to be a negative nancy, it’s not good karma for your career and those are the kind of musicians, I don’t want to be around with. You need to be a professional on and off the computer. A negative attitude in music is not a way to go. I’m only speaking from experience and learning.”
I really meant what I said too.
That post wasn’t really aimed at any musician or band in particular, it’s pretty much aimed at all of them. What is it with musicians getting angry over small stuff? I’m just trying to make it a more positive music scene. That’s all I’m pretty much doing really.
Musicians think they can act how they want to in the world of music. Well, you can’t. Gotta act like a professional 100%, no matter where you go and no matter who you talk to. If you want to make it somewhere, gotta be happy and positive. Smile a lot. It’s not that hard to do.
Edit to add: I mean, isn’t that what everyone’s been telling me for years??? People’s been saying I can’t act how I want, I should be a nice guy and be a professional. Yet, other musicians still think they can act how they want. Just proved my point that people around here can be a bunch of hypocrites.
