Cover Bands Don't Change The World |
| It’s incredibly difficult for a band to make the transition from “cover band” to “original band.” In fact, it rarely happens successfully. The band is always caught in the netherworld between making a living/earning money and wanting to express themselves through their art. Even if they are able to successfully slip some original music into the mix, they will always have to stare down the vocal requests for the latest top 40 fare. |
Closing Doors |
| I don’t like to say “no.” I think it’s partly because I tend to gravitate toward possibility rather than pragmatics. But that tendency to always look for new solutions has at times significantly hamstrung my creative process and has, in the past, seriously affected my ability to creatively lead teams. |
