I was driving up the M5 on Monday and I thought about how simple it would be to turn the steering wheel hard, flip my car, take out myself and probably a few other people too.
So good, Jeff -- geez, sometimes I think we share a little pocket of our brains where we think the same things. I loved this: "Disrupting creatively takes more work than disrupting destructively, but it’s totally doable if you are willing to do things that aren’t normal." I'm curious what advice you might have for me as I'm working to expand the music career of Marcus Royce.
1. I'm the wrong guy to ask because I don't have a clue about the music industry (although I am apparently one of the top 3% of Spotify listeners in the world).
2. Since you asked…
3. Enthusiasm beats coolness any day because enthusiasm is infectious.
4. I remember reading an interview with Neil Tennant of Pet Shop Boys in which he said that he had no interest in being 'authentic' and that authenticity is as much of an act in the music/art world as anything else.
5. Are there any conventions of authenticity that get in the way of you releasing or performing music in the way you really want to?
Thank you for this (of course) thoughtful reply. I'm thankful to be able to answer #5 with a resounding NO...which is new. Yet, you mention "conventions of authenticity" --and that's something I will think about. Cheers!
Cooperation with destruction IS the spice of life, very nicely put⚛️

Thanks, Marcus.
