Perspective Perspective Perspective! Great persepctive Vikki...

How you see things and hear things and feel about things at the end of the day is all that really matters. If you open your mind to somethings you will learn perspective and place that perspective where ever you want. Maybe you'll gain something valuable in your own life from it maybe not. But at least some insite into it is interesting.

If you dont think Jason Blume can teach you anything at this point, then don't buy his book or listen to his speeches or listen to his songs as those are the ways he can influence you. What he is basically pushing is the idea of success, may he be struck by lighting for that lol.. and since were all so successful in the music business, it' even more absurd right?

Forget the fact that he is a HIT songwriter Great or Not he's still did something you & me haven't been able to. Unless his daddy owns the publishing CO or a major record label that deserves credit. Nuff said. Lets forget the BS talk I like action even better.


Perspective - Look at that BUM fighter, he gets knocked out in his last 4 fights he don't train enough, he's got NO HOOK, He's the bottom of the barrel,he's this he's all this you say!

Then you go in a room with him to play his game he knocks you out cold in 2 seconds. You just got perspective handed to you right on the jaw. Thank God he was a Bum and not Joe Louis right?

Jason Blume writes HOOKS in his world that crosses a few styles.. most likey if anyone here goes into a room with him and plays his game you get knocked out too... No??? Wake Up!

That's right five people are in that room, two of them keep playing music one piece after another after another and you have to write HOOKS on the spot to say be approved by the other 3 people in the room... Guess what? Jason kicks your ass, thank God it wasn't McCartney or Stevie Wonder huh? Then if you asked more & more people you would be further crushed. He's not even in the same world as the other two legends and he's out hooking you all day. But this doesn't apply to you because you write a different kind of song the what the hell are you doing on tbis thread about Jason LOL...

Perspective...

"Oh I hate the way he plays the guitar, with all those fast notes and this & that and all that distortion blah blah " Ah Then he comes to your house sits next to you with an acoustic and BLOWS you away! You know it and so does everyone esle in the room. But you can't admit it (so where does the real problem lie?)

Now this in not always the case, and maye you are as good or better, but doesn't seem like the ones who are are never knocking down everyone else? Are they to busy being great"

If you wanna keep talking about something on & on & on, at least be in the same game not in the stands,if not for anything else but to gain some persepctive for self piece of mind.

I bare a fair goodbye to Ande's Thread, I must get somethings done. I do have contests & exercises on the mp3 board that make people step out of there comfort zone, try to write out of there normal style for some. Great for Perspective & learning.

Writing HOOKS is hard, we address it in ACTION, within a SPECIFIC STYLE, within a TIME FRAME, with REJECTION
Sound familar? Like something called like, the Music Business?
Whether you like it or not its a business, work with that or not.
