As I plod through the last stages of my online work I reflect on how little of it I was able to share in person over the last six years. At fault is a greedy, dishonest presence in the music business and, perhaps more insidiously, a commonly overlooked flaw in our culture: the pursuit of instant gratification. Fast food is the most common example of how this want is answered by our capitalist economy. I think it creates a mindset of spoiled consumers, the worst of whom expect stardom to be handed to them instantly. The business approach has only been to answer these consumer needs, not to question them. As long as people need instant stardom, business will try to sell it to them. As for the talent, well, I'm the talent.
