The Mighty Musical Observations Thread

[Kory]

Deeply relatable.

But which one are you in this drama?

Boy, I was pretty drunk when I replied, i had to re-read this thing. I'm the younger person! Musicians are whackadoodle, man...

The number of just fucking nuts, antisocial people in creative walks of life is astounding. When I was young and decided I wanted to be a scholar, I thought those people were just amazing. To write a kickass book must require being a kickass person. The amount of pettiness, absurd selfishness, and flat-out childish behaviour was an eyeopener. Just so many incidences of "what the fuck is wrong with you?" My reasons for not really striving to be an academic almost wholly relate to my own deficiencies, but I also feel like a dodged a bit of a bullet because the idea of being colleagues with so many lousy human beings is so distasteful.

I think a lot of artists live by the oft-heard advice that if you really want to succeed, you have to be selfish—declining invitations, not seeing family, really focusing on the art and nothing but. Look what happened to Dave Sim—it cracks ya.

Suffering for your art is fine if that's just how it happens, but to purposefully take it as a persona or mission is goddamn stupid. At a certain point, we all stop labouring, so what kind of human being is left after the work ceases?

I suppose they would respond that either they'll continue laboring until death (the art is that important), or they aren't interested in who they are without it. I'm certainly suffering for mine, but I'm definitely not one of these yay-hoos.

Which works out(ish) if they can work until death, but there are no guarantees about that.

I think they probably top themselves if that happens.
