Birdy Num Num

Last night I had dinner with Roz from Women in Docs.

Good food, no wine, fine company at a Viet noshery in the West End. All in all much more convivial that a a subway "sandwich" (is that what you call food in America? Really?) in a mall in Wisconsin.

So we talked and ate well and the best thing about it was that she is a talented musician and...AND .. she understands that winning or losing in the music business is not about being a prima donna. It is about simple hard work. It was an absolute joy not to have to explain every little thing about the latest release and what we were going to do. I actually felt like I was talking to a friend and not just the "talent".

I think thats why most labels think of the acts as enemies and bands hate their labels. We both expect miracles and when they aren't delivered it is as if God just condemned you to hell.

So dear reader please remember that the guy on the other side of the table may be a bastard or he may be a saint but whoever he is you chose to join him and you should have the balls to take on some of the responsibility. It is not a one way relationship.

Eat right.
