A lot of people wonder why I’m so honest and outspoken in music, and other topics. Sometimes my thoughts on music and other things can spark some controversy. I’ll sometimes get a public backlash on some of the things, I say, sure. I’ve always believed it was a good thing to tell the truth. I’m just not afraid of the truth. If other people want to tell the truth about me, that’s just fine. I’m not afraid anything. I know the truth may upset some folks, but why hide your feelings on things inside? Don’t hide your emotions and thoughts. I have nothing to hide. There are so many bloggers out there and websites, being so positive and lovely about everything. Again, I just think it’s good to tell the truth. Be real about stuff. Have the balls to say the stuff that people are afraid to say. That’s always been me, and I’ll never change.

I’ve always believed that it’s an important thing that a musician needs to be honest and real about things. Why would you want to be happy and lovely about everything, ya know? I try to be. I’m just not afraid to speak my mind. No holds barred, anything goes. I’ve always been this way in forums and other places online. Why am I like this online? It’s because it’s how I am, off the computer. Just an honest and real guy. It’s just who I am.

If I ever got to get interviewed for radio, newspapers or magazines someday, people are probably not gonna like what I have to say and many of the stuff I’ll have to say will probably get edited out. This is probably part of why I post on my blog. It’s just my own area where I can have my own freedom of expression. Even if I have my own blog, people still seem to get mad at some of the stuff I say on here.

My opinions and thoughts on certain topics will always remain the same. People can argue and debate with me all they want to, I will always believe in and stand by the things I say. I just feel it’s good to tell the truth about things and it makes life easier.

I do support all national music, and local music. I support musicians of all kinds, but I’m still gonna have some brutal honesty. If a band plays a show that’s not all that good, I won’t be afraid to say it. If they act unprofessional or if I disagree with how bands do things, I won’t be afraid to say it. Maybe this is part of why I’ve always had a love & hate relationship between musicians and music fans.

That’s okay, though. I like telling the truth. I don’t feel ashamed of doing it, either. I’m not afraid to give things bad reviews either. Nothing wrong with having an honest opinion on something. If it’s on your mind, get it out of you. Don’t hide it in. Whether the public reaction you get is either good or bad, hey, it’s not the end of the world. It’s not perfect. Life isn’t about pleasing everyone. Just simply be yourself. That’s what it’s all about.
