That is OK Marc....I know now that you cannot back up what you say......or are afraid to speak the truth.....I have no aspiration to be a star...never have had.....I had my chance and refused because I did not like the people who make the decisions or the way the Biz is run. Not much has changed...if anything it has got worse......what surprises me is that YOU who obviously has talent and do have aspirations have not progressed as far as you could.........Your blood must boil when you see those untalented nobodys you talk about leapfrog you and reach the dizzy heights you can only dream of....while you mentor starters hold songwriting classes for no hopers and guide tours of places you should be master of.
Some of us know talent when we see it and can spot hype and mediocrity a mile off. I am not hypocritical...or pretending we all have a chance...... enough to pretend these acts have any talent. Yes I may be a crumugeon or whetever the word is...but that is better than an ass licker....looking for crumbs... in a sea full of shallow untalented folk who have no thought other than making money.....and those two faced suits who have no appreciation of music or knowledge of it....but control it.
