Like John Lennon said…
“We were four guys, that, eh... I met Paul, said, "Do you wanna join me band?", you know, and then George joined and then Ringo joined. We were just a band who made it very, very big, that's all.”
So if all goes according to plan, the best case scenario is that you’ll get very, very big…but you’re still just a band.
Bands come and go. Bands are not a necessity although they can provide a necessity.
When a band breaks up it’s sad and then everyone moves on. The earth keeps spinning, mom is still proud, the music lives on.
The impact a band makes is always under estimated and yet self importance is often far too over blown.
The real fans don’t care if mistakes are made…but band decisions are too often dictated by not-yet-fans, fence riders or passers-by.
Bands can change the world but don’t let it go to your head. You’re just a band.
