So what’s been going on with the band?
A question all artists have been asked a bazillion times, and yet…
What’s the little white lie you tell most often when asked that question?
That certain aspect you pump up…or sweep under the rug. The real answer to the question. The confident, insecure, messy, powerful answer.
Now, I know I know. Fake it till you make it. No one wants to hear a sob story. It’s not the right time and place to really “get into it”.
But noticing where you place your white lies says more about YOU than whether or not you answer the question in a socially acceptable way.
p.s. If the truth to the question “So what’s going on with the band” is really as shiny as most of the artists I’ve talked to over the last ten years…I should have a lot more famous friends.
p.p.s. The answer artists give to that question while standing in a club or coffee shop is worlds apart from from the one they give when sitting in my living room. There’s life and truth and potential in the living room answer.
