Cool People

Questions are Answers…

People’s questions are worded in thousands of different ways yet sometimes, they are still the same “one” question all the while. Let’s step away from entertainment and focus on life for a second. Life is this enigmatic conundrum of good, bad, confusing, and bi-polar existences.

That’s natural.

Imagine someone wanted to know what they could do to get more out of life.

Milestones are set as we mature, evolve, etc. If we don’t ask…it might be detrimental…..even if we are content. The simplest answer is usually to go and find like-minded people and become part of their communities.

That’s one of many possible beginnings.

In answer to what one might do to get more out of their book, movie, music, comedy (and life’s) dreams; all I can really tell you is that furthering success, will require rallying in the portion of your skills that doesn’t involve, business.

If nothing else, you’ll continue to learn and become one of the greatest at what you pursue in life. It’s one of many possible endings.

Respectfully & Sincerely,

Nick Nolte, Eddie Murphy, & Tom Cruise in — Another Cold War…

Okay. So maybe that isn’t such a good movie idea after all. The Russian’s love to be themselves; I think the Russian’s are tired of playing “Monotony” (by Halliburton) – But what the f*ck is this?

Herr Bush says, “Russia, now calm…no…..calm down or, I won’t rent you anymore Nintendo games.” Herr Putin says, “…but…but…..but Georgia started it.”

My opinion is, Georgia probably did.

See, Russian’s, as barbaric as they can be etc. They’re still smart people. It is easier to demonize than it is to see what is truly standing between fact & fiction. I’m not pro-Kremlin. I’m not pro-Putin. I’m not pro-Soviet. Georgian military was shooting at journalist and pointing guns at civilians. The Georgian president was on television demonizing the Russian Bear.

Okay.

We can say who did what first all we want however, if the Georgian Military is that out of whack, and they trained with U.S. Military, well…..then that must mean something is wrong with all of this…period.

Rather than speak further, I point to two video links:

Indie Buzz Bootcamp (Part 2): Meeting Bob Baker

Bob Baker is the silly, (admittedly) corny, lackluster, excellent event coordinator I perceived him to be. This ‘in the flesh’ experience was surreal. Like a David Lynch film, with an almost all Country/Americana soundtrack. We were both astonished by some invisible force. We were both enamored with the very fact that we stood side by side discussing nothing intense.

I don’t guess karma was ill; I don’t presume there was behind the mind disdain either. We got along fine for what it’s worth, which is a lot if you went to this event to be, “exorcized”. I mean that comically & seriously. It takes more than an idea and vision to move into reality with your goals. While I have known this all my life, I couldn’t understand how some others, didn’t.

I still call that stupidity; because some of these individuals seemed to be very well articulated. Did they have the catalogue (music) to empower the words shared…I don’t know…..and to some degree, I don’t care. We were there to get away from what most of us would call, “tasting the grime”. Bob is more or less, a bubbly individual with a family that is enjoyably quirky.

Does this meeting change the nature of my perspective on him or those that I deem the ‘how-to’ jockeys? No. But I’ve never decried any of them as ‘not hard working’ or ‘ethically incorrect’. Anyone who is going to want to be an authority on something, I shall challenge. Sometimes until they are sickened but mostly, for fun and for reflective; transition.

Thank you Bob (Baker) for being embracing, accepting, & just closed enough to allow the Hero/Villain aesthetic to allow us the greeting.

Indie Buzz Bootcamp (part 1): Meeting Derek Sivers

How dare I attend a ‘how-to’ convention? That’s true. But this one had Derek Sivers & a load of other individuals that was to be frank, an almost unbelievable combination of individuals. Don’t worry, the world will not collapse. At least, not any more than it has in a while. I had fun (which is Key), and that’s very unusual for anything that contains ‘music-conference’ within its moniker.

First off, meeting Derek was important for me. Having been both a critic & advocate of his ideas in the past, I was destined for that moment when I’d say, “by the way, I’m…” — He is very much the introvert he explains himself as and, that’s excellent. I’m very similar to him in those respects but probably not at all alike in many others.

In the end, Derek (Sivers) is not the stereotypical enterpriser that he thinks he might be. He comes across as a mix between Sun Tzu & the public Steve Jobs. Very adaptable, very improvisational, and very peculiar; you have to be meticulously intense to exist in today’s business & entertainment environment and well, I’m happy that we have this in common.

I feel that not knowing a few small items about him may have taken him aback, but I don’t get to read online as much as I’d like to. So I asked him some simple items about ever getting into music again etc. and, he was unexpectedly gracious to answer. I figured since he was like myself with some small talk items he’d reply, “good God man, haven’t you ever read my about-me link?”

Thanks Derek for allowing me the opportunity to connect with you despite my at times, intensely; meticulous, candor.

My Industry & the Music-Expert Calamity…

There’s a war on for your mind; and it’s not a conspiracy-theory or information-technology ‘moniker’ either. Entertainment is strictly that; and by all means, not truly a grand speaking platform unless, that is what you’ve attempted to contribute all along – the true cynics haven’t made an effort to say the truth – and that truth will probably die when the next ‘forward-motion’ project arrives.

How-to Jockey’s, Social-Networking experts; Music, Film, and Authorship experts…..? When did this stop being about helping others have a good time with great songs and better entertainment?

Companies are now built on all sorts of premises involving ‘better-marketing’, learning tricks, finding the ‘niche’ and ‘target-audience’.

F*ck that.

When everyone knows every curve, angle, and buzz-word…then who will be blamed for mediocrity or unheard greatness?

I can’t think of a single fan of my music that doesn’t make their own choice; so what makes others think that they are performing the best filtering ever known to man?

I guess one of three things:

God
Government
Or self *

But nothing more I’m almost certain.

I can’t stand to muster, debate, or coagulate on ‘points of sale’, ‘points of assertion’. There are a lot of Suze Orman’s but not enough Led Zeppelin’s.

Anyway, let me know what you’re thinking.

(The rest of you can orgasm over whose more ‘guerilla’ — anywhere that isn’t near me) *

Respectfully & Sincerely,

- Ss
