Oh man Were you do start with that? lol
Get ahead in this business? What business? Greg's the one here doing business. And he has learned to work with his peers, and he does, and has learned the craft and a craft.
I don't know if it can ever be explained softly or clearly that writing a POP HIT SONG is a craft and it is a TREMENDOUS business effort. My goodness how easy is that to see?

For those who do neither to obsess about the subject is mind boggling to me. I always feel I should have a real reason to complain or bicker. Those reasons usually come from me trying to death to do something and others not making it happen.
I understand the doubts and the realities of dreams and broken dreams all to well. It doesn't mean you should try to kill the dream for others even if it's over for you. That includes everybody.. I'm talking in general here.
Again screw me, but anybody who wants to make a list of heartbreaking opportunities and try to place it next to mine LOSES!!! I'll bet lungs on it.

Yet I never make the kids who come here feel like that, Never encourage them to be a hater. Someone especially who calls themselves a lover of music and an artist should always be that first. I never DOWN there music meaning the new young artist they listen too to them. Of course we show them other great stuff from the past. And we love it when they respect that even if they don't like it (yet) Or get it yet.... So they respect us just like we do them. And there 12 YEAR OLD little girls! lol Hey Oh What's a matter wit you guys?

Even if you've been through alot and are beaten to near death in this field. Don't you remember the excitement? The joy and the feeling of EXTRA great pride and purpose that something you love doing and have dreamed about and worked so hard on was being considered to be put out there for the whole world possibly.
Doing it in just to do it in the first place is a GIVEN. So throw that talk in the trash can

The excitement of waiting for that phone call, or the conversation you actually have with someone who could make your goal in life happen... DESPITE the goal! It's the point that matters.Sharing the enthusiasm and the frustration, the disappointments the almosts and the success with those who worked with you. And those who UNDERSTAND how much this goal means you, no matter the goal. Remember the feeling of being young and alive, that anxiousness of call for a girl or boy, that first date, first kiss. That's what your music should always be like impossible as it actually is, I know.

The feeling of putting that American Dream into reality, Mom here's that house I promised, I know you were proud of me anyway but... Kids your future is set... "HEY bozo's from the old job especially the boss and those harsh kids back at school I TOLD you's I could do it. I believed in myself and it was NEVER ABOUT THE MONEY OR FAME. If it was I would have gave up 10 years ago.... lol

Some folks are content watching the Superbowl others just want to be play in it ONCE! Despite what year it is or who's playing now, what's wrong with that?

All the best.
Great thread believe it or not!
