and the small print taketh away
(Tom Waits)Music is a big part of my life. I talk about it for a living, and I play it when I can. The best advice I ever got from a dead guy: "Beware of enterprises that require new clothes" -HDT. He was also the first dude to talk about marching to your own beat. And then he said, "Simplify, simply, simplify," but I'm still working on that one. Also, some long-haired dude in Atlanta said "Try drumming, it's cheaper than a shrink and safer than a gun ...." Which is very true. Yes, I like quotes, and no, I can't think of my own smart things to say. By the way, does anyone know why there is no antonym for "ballad"?
This is my company! [Yarrr! PR. Oxymoronically Honest Publicity.]
