I came across a link recently on facebook that my biggest supporter, loving fan, brother from another mother, buddy of mine Dan Cummings posted.
In actually sharing it, I was a tad hesitant. As a matter of public record, I have mixed feelings on it. While the concept holds a ton of merit in my opinion and from what I've gathered from those who have been in this industry much longer than I; there is a strong part of me that doesn't particularly like loopholes. Without further ado, here's the link.
Let me add that I'm heavy on personal responsibility. Let me also throw in that all the blame that has been thrown around pointed at this reason and that reason can probably also be pointed in the mirror we look into every now and again. The tactic described in that news story of "Produce The Note" is a clever way of using the system to your advantage. God knows the system has used us to their advantage. What's fair is fair, right? Well, I don't really like to look at things like that. Actually, sometimes I do:) But let's get rational here...
Yes, there is a lot of wrongs in this world. There always will be. Yes, there are a lot of folks who will take advantage of you when you are in the confines of the fetal position. There probably always will be. And while we are still a young civilization, we have accomplished a lot. I do believe we will get through this and while I don't necessary think we will be smelling of roses after the fact... petunias aren't a bad door prize. Shoot for the roses, just don't ignore the other flowers along the way.
I certainly wish I could tell everyone that everything will be okay, because I believe it will. I don't know that as fact, though. All I do know is that WE play a larger part in our destinies than WE may think. Don't stop the negativity, just stop buying into it as if it is the all encompassing facet to these times. It isn't.
We have it pretty damn good. I dare say that we are spoiled to a large extent. Let's move forward swimming in the reality that we need to work hard, help each other, and practice ethics over instant gratification.
Hell, it sure beats one of the alternatives... which makes for a good song but a smokey neighborhood.
Herein ends my "Gary Woltal" moment;)
