David Crosby, in a video where he talks about his guitars, has something to say about the idea of an artist must suffer at the 5:37 mark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDlA1FnuN1U&list=PLLGHhogIgLfjbWAR83blHbU8XCUQeVRrd&index=6&ab_channel=AcousticGuitarMagazine

1000% yes to all of that. I was hired before a lot of my coworkers were born Most days, it's just fine. Fun, even. But man, if I never have to hear one of their "revolutionary takes" again, it'll be too soon.

Also: I read "Elvis is everywhere, Elvis is in everything" in Mojo Nixon's voice.

I have been screaming from the top of my lungs for years that " talent" is loving to do something so much that you do it frequently and consistently enough that you become good at it. IT'S WORK!! May I share your " Myth of Creativity" elsewhere?🔥

Fella, you outdid yourself on this one! 'The Myth of Creativity' should be government-mandated required reading for everyone in this society. And I'm amazed at how you pulled off 'Seth Rogen Tweets' without sounding like Old Man Yells at a Cloud. I was nodding like a bobblehead with every sentence. I thought we might part ways on your Shazam! review, but NOPE. I'm there with you 100%.

Thank you for putting in the work that you do.
