About this listen

I read something today that struck a chord: "forget about becoming something. Just do stuff".

There's two kinds of kids in the world: those who love the idea of being a rockstar, and those that love the idea of writing music. When it comes to /doing/, I've found that focussing on writing the song pays off much better in the long run than focussing on "becoming" a rockstar. Love the grind as we said in a previous episode, not the goal.

Becoming a rockstar is more often than not an outcome of being able to write good music first. And in my experience of /doing/ things, I've found that the label comes last, and practice comes first.

In this episode, I refer to Meet Joe Black, which has Anthony Hopkins deliver his "dance like a dervish" line twice. Catch the first of those scenes here. And watch the rest of the movie if you can :) See you next time!
