Thanks for your insights Dave!
Honestly, I have been the type that has in the past tried to build up my lack of talent as something new and fresh! Much seems like noise. But some like finger paint, others like great Italian artisists of the past. Music in a big way has been a vehicle for me to keep motivated and out of trouble. There was a time from where I have read up on history to where a great deal of time went into ones spirituality before they did an artistic work. But all the same there was a method in getting there. Now it seems to be, the hell with the method and time. I'm trying to take the time and do things legitimately before I can say someone might want to spend 2 bits on what I do. And I would like to make something for everyone and at the same time not compromise. Being a reader of music publications, what is offensive or controversial seems to sell. So far, lyrically, I try to make strong points that people for the most part can agree on. But then I have a side that does'nt want to be compromising either.
I would like to be all things and yet still be myself.
But music and the persuit of trying to be creative has sure been a great motivator and has given me a spritual foundation.
I probably would not be alive if I had not looked at music as an outlet.
