Anonymous asked: I LOVE THIS! Save the extremely annoying floral background, this is a fantastic project. These hate mails you've been getting are quite hilarious, too, its one of my favourite things watching people get wound up over things that has absolutely nothing to do with them. Take it as a compliment, seriously. They care so so much about this. Smile wickedly and then dont even bother to answer. As Pallenberg and Faithfull used to say- NEVER APOLOGIZE, NEVER EXPLAIN!
Thanks so much! I know, it’s a total face-in-palm moment everytime I open one, they’re laughable and it’s painfully clear that a lot of the girls sending things in claiming to ‘know everything’ and making generalized stereotypes about how things work are at the very least sketchy with their details and have no real legitimate arguements so they babble on about bullshit like hotel lights all being exactly the same. They send in the message assuming I’ll read it and believe it as it is because as far as they’re concerned I don’t exist on the scene, but with the diverse and wide range of experiences I’ve had they just sound like foolish beginners, if they’re even out on the scene themselves or not. Blanket statements like that just make everything you say seem foolish and makes you come off as a wildly exagerating liar even if you actually are doing what you claim. So many of the people I’ve met on the scene make the lifestyle work for them because of their open-mindedness and gerneral curiosity about the world and the details of life—not just their own. It’s a wonder these girls claim to be so well-travelled and still act like they’ve never left a small town and every hotel they’ve seen is from an A-list movie screen.
Never Apologize, Never Explain! I like it!
Thanks for the support and for reading! I hope you will join the Community Forum and start some discussions with other music lovers—the only prerequisit is an interest in music!
