Damn if you do that slow enough and stumble around just before Bullet the Blue Sky that could be cool

I told this deeply cool dude I was gonna start a U2 cover band because my former vocal teacher said if I'm on point I could sound like Bono.

Have to do that for them. I DID say I was gonna rock the place out.

You have to keep your word. I mean I do at least.

Casper, I've realized that I am a potential top end rock and roll singer down the line which SO many people tried to tell me, but every time I drifted off too far into substance abuse problems to not penetrate it up because I know how stuff like how the Kings of Leon got started - by locking themselves in their basement, drinking, doing drugs, throwing a bunch of bottles etc. at eachother, then righting Holler Roller Novacaine and getting signed. Do I want to try to do that right now in my heart? Sure. But I can't do that. I could end up in some bad places I've been and that's not happening yet. It has do be done right - a studio (I have a place for that), a band.

But you can't have your putting without eating your meat, as they say. My company has many people doing both very, very well. Why can't I? Failure here is absolutely ridiculous and inexcusable with how much I want it and how much I owe to people who did awesome things for me even when I was a total penetrate up. 1st installment to IAG has been paid and she's getting paid in full with LOTS of interest, btw (which she doesn't want, but I'm doing it anyway lol). Nobody bother her though, please. I just wanted to note that I'm doing the right thing there, making it more than right.

So for me? Maybe I can have a few at the end of the night to wind down after focusing on getting my shit together with money, which there's nothing wrong with. Been doing a lot of thinking lately about life, etc. which is what people going through intense times too and is money greed, which is a sin? Sure. But in my opinion ONLY if you're an asshole about the way you pursue it (and I decided I don't believe in revenge, so I take my mind away from them and bring it right back to a fan of what I could be). I was a state champion volleyball captain for a Roman Catholic volleyball team - not even close to the best player - don't know why they chose me to be captain, lol - that's something that requires more thought.

So money = fixing past mistakes = freedom to come through for the many people who have come through for - all of the family, friends, and fans.

I'm sorry about posting that on both forums. I owe both loyalty.

That was a lot at once and it's only coffee and pseu-ephedrine, wtf?

Much love, for life.

:hattip:

Casp, this is a money push as some in the poker community say. You play as hard as you can in the shortest period of time possible to win as much money possible. I fucked that up then 6 beers turned into 200 because I was covering Beck on the street, lol. I can't hit the street again because when you're 45 years old and you were an ok volleyball player, it hurts your back too much and you can't get any sleep because people might steal from you, kill you, or both. Made a bunch of potential fans that way though, deeply cool ones.

Also, you can do that in poker. You can't do that in the professional community, so have to chill things out and keep my shit together.



You can't have your pudding without your meat. How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?

Someone who knows much more than me said to hire a psychologist - I say no. Because this?

This is Rock and roll, stand up comedy, writing, poetry - (wrote one of those in college that made everyone just sit silently including the teacher) for like 2 minutes as hobbies.

But it's career and rock and roll.

Phew, lol. Ty for reading.
I read this twice. As a 45 year old man talking to another, my ONLY issue with your awesome post is the justification of drinking.

Debauchery isn’t what helped make Kings Of Leon successful. Hell, odds are they could’ve been even better without the crazy.

You may just be more talented than them in some capacity. Having a couple to wind down doesn’t seem to be as easy as that sounds.

I’d love to see you stone cold sober and see you kick ass. I’d love to see you find something else to wind down with after a day of highs and lows.

I want to see the potential Steve at his absolute mental and physical peak.

I say this as a forum friend. Build that sober foundation. The benefits will be extremely rewarding. More rewarding than anything a couple of drinks can do.

I have faith in you pal.
 
My impression is that it's not just about talent and skill. There are literally millions of talented singers/ musicians. Nobody's running out to sign 40+ year old rock n roll stars who haven't previously done anything. You can literally write the next Stairway To Heaven, nobody will give a fuck.

Harsh but true. The industry was always shallow & it always fabricated some stars, but it's now impossible for someone to make it without a big team and big money behind them. The lead singer needs to super hot and <25. If the machine can't make you a star by that age, it tosses you aside.

agree 1000% that labels/artist management companies/most everyone are completely disinterested in 40+ musicians.

disagree 1000% that there are millions of talented songwriters. That number is far less than that

there are millions of talented singers and musicians

but not songwriters.

writing a classic, unforgettable melody paired with poignant lyrics is crazy difficult

As I’ve said at times, if it wasn’t crazy difficult we would all do it and live in Malibu and drive Ferrari’s

Instagram is LOADED with dudes playing instrumental guitar pieces

it is not loaded with dudes playing and singing great songs they just wrote

there’s the difference

Miss you.

@kato

Steve, like me, you have a 0.00000000000638% chance of being a successful recording artist

:cheers:
Lol, right?

Ty for the reminder in response to my delusion of grandeur. Rocking out bars, places outside I've been and maybe falling in love would be beyond cool though.

I couldn't respect the heck out of your original material btw. I know I won't be there for a long while.

For now it's covers.
