I always tell myself when feeling dark try being the light for others. I think if you are showing care toward people that can bring the light back.
Great ink

I think I said this before, but I love the back-and-forth banter between you two. Also, the fact that you both have so much insight in music is a perk.

Thanks, Fia. Keith and I had chemistry that’s for sure. The banter was truly organic, I love that part as well. Always a plus to talk music. lol. Appreciate you.

Let me first say that I appreciate your testimony, Damian. I commend your bravery and affirmation. That’s not a slight on you, Keith. As both of you agreed, we all have our beliefs, and discussions like this give us the opportunity to understand each other. I’m glad it came up.
Comments on writing: Let me say that a very wise man on this site once told me to write for myself first. I think both of you guys do that, and it’s important to remember. Let me add that musicians with experience writing lyrics do poetry differently in comparison to those with minimal musical experience. There’s nothing wrong with it, but I sense both of you guys write to an intuitive beat because of your musical foundation and interest. I can feel it in many of your pieces.
As for people not placing comments on your pieces, don’t forget that you have to be a member to comment. However, it’s my understanding that reads can come from nonmember visitors. There is always a major disparity between the number of comments and reads on every site I’ve ever attended. It doesn’t piss me off. People breeze through and check out your stuff, then move to the next thing. It’s like making stupid decisions in a horror movie. That’s just what they do.
Wow, the parenting comments, Keith. That was a spanking. I get what you’re saying. I have a nine-year-old that constantly stuns me with what she knows. The tech stuff is scary. They need to be up to date, but they don’t need to live in their phones or computers. Still, I live in my computer a lot more than I used to. Social skills have suddenly become an issue for many. On another note, a bit unrelated, I’m horrified by the things people will say when cloaked by anonymity of the internet.
Keith, I love that you were influenced by cartoons… so refreshing to see that make the list. Believe it or not, I’ve actually watched some of the old Bugs Bunny toons, and I think they are brilliant. Your list of influences was exhausting. OMG. I’m always influenced the most by the last author I read… just a literary chameleon.
I’m a little surprised, considering you are both musicians, that the subject of AI didn’t come up in your interview. One of our members was actually generating AI music for a while on this site, and it was very good. I think a few other people may have picked it up. There are obviously different things this technology can provide, one being instrumental support. I noticed there was a discussion about the cost of making music.
Anyway, I loved the interview. I can see you two sitting in a bar somewhere hashing this out over whiskey.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Meg. So glad you enjoyed the interview my friend. Always, write for yourself because you can’t guess what the reader wants to read. Peter Frampton, had a successful album in the 70’s a live album in fact. It spawned a huge hit called “Show Me The Way” it sold millions of copies, the tour was great as well making him even more popular and the record company rich. Thing is he hit a wall writing the next album, he didn’t have any ideas or real direction this time. He tried to anticipate what the fans would want, and wrote the album that way. It bombed!! He spent the next couple albums trying to figure out how to fix it. Then it dawned on him, he wrote the successful album writing what he wanted to write. That’s a musical footnote. lol. It was a fun interview with, Keith. He’s a talented writer. Appreciate you.

So, you’re saying try the veal?
I will say that I’m not totally blind about the impact of public demand on artists. We like to have the luxury of creating what makes us happy and following our instincts, but there are demands out there at all levels which interfere with such freedoms if you are interested in getting a paycheck. Still, you know what I’m talking about.

I’m basically the kinda person that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is something where you should read the fine print. There is most likely a catch. I’ve seen things in the music business that shows its dark underbelly. But I do get your point. Appreciate you.
