and how is it a musician would do any worse than the current ass clowns
you know, you might have a point there, bipo.
* musicians have to learn and practice a lot before they get the gig.
* a musician's daddy might get him the audition. but if he can't lay it down, he won't get the call. even if he fits the suit.
* musicians that keep clammin' the tune get the boot.
* musicians stay up later than 8 o'clock.
* musicians have an international curiosity.
* musicians (the good ones, anyway) can jam with just about anyone and make it work.
* musicians get it that you have about 6 or 7 years to make your mark. and don't fiddley fuk around after the first 6 months. not counting amy winehouse, of course. but who cares about her when duffy is so damn cool?
* you can actually
have a beer with a musician. you may have to pay for it, but at least you'll get
something in return.
* musicians may not have to read for the gig, but they do have to learn quickly to play it by ear. and not screw it up.
* musicians understand the difference between playing some f**ked up **** and f**cking **** up. much love, miles... okay, fripp, don't get in a twist...
* musicians would never let john ashcroft sing. "let the eagle soar"?? wtf?
* musicians may get all sheepish about it, but they will admit to their corporate sponsorship. unlike some i could mention.
* musicians get it that image is important, but chops are what counts.somebody tell sarah palin. i, i, mean britney spears.
* for musicians, legacy is a greatest hits cd of tunes that don't suck.
