NEW POST: “Sometimes, I Get Talked Into Things Too Easily”
November 2010
If there is one thing that the music industry has taught me, it’s that you can’t be everybody’s best friend. As much as you want to try to interact with every single one of your show-goers and develop close personal friendships with all of them, trying to keep up with all of those people’s lives will drive you insane, or to drink, whichever comes first. Still, I do my best at providing a good ear and a shoulder for everyone I can. I’ve also discovered that, for some reason I’ll never understand, people believe I’m easy to talk to and, for more reasons that are slowly developing into a brain tumor, they believe that I’m a good person to come to for advice with their problems. I guess that’s a sign that I must appear to have my shit together… I know better.
The situation that developed from this particular night is a prime example of how one can take being personable and approachable just a bit too far.
