Any reason one human feels the need to climb on the back of another?
I have a huge ego, I play music for live audiences and love it.
But I need not hurt any human to make myself feel better.
I like to share.
That is my ego.
Talk too much.
Play too much.
I share.
But I don't look for pecking order. Or how to climb the ladders in life, social or business.
When one human steps on another to make themselves feel better, what is it they lack? Why don't they want to share?
My greatest joy is watching a youngster be inspired or a look of bliss from person in the midst of a memory the music may have evoked.
I feed off the communal energy inherent in a gig.
Some seem to want to rule that energy, not share it.
Their loss.
But it impacts us all.
A band is the marriage of the group members. Four or five individuals that must live together, learn all the foibles of the rest of the group and accept them in an effort to make the band sound good.
It's those selfish ones that play louder and want to be heard alone and shining that can detract from our collective fun.
Chill the fuck out.
