This is, in a sense, a personal failure, but I always find it surprising that musicians are also erudite.

The occasional reminder appears, but with Ozzy, one expects craziness (train optional), and here we have people who go out and shout on stage seemingly giving a symposium.

I was friends with a kid in kindergarten (and beyond) who went into the music industry … moved to New York and started a band. One of the smartest guys I’ve ever met, so I really should get over this sense that the pageantry has anything to do with the motivation.
