Tom, if you do A + B aiming for C… is that the industry trying to shape who you are and how you present yourself? I think of high profile artists like Prince, Taylor, Bill Withers… Bucking the music industry’s effort to control and mold whereas they want(ed) more control, autonomy to each follow his or her own muse… Perhaps at some time you might elaborate on the dynamics of winners, losers, and I guess I’ll call them independents. Of course no one‘s life is like a timeline, a straight through-line without detours, tangents, potholes, peaks, and valleys. (I’m sure your life plays out as an awesome schematic.) Just mulling over your comment. Loser is such a lightning rod term… especially in today’s political climate.
