Motley Crue...

This has been a fun week already and its only Tuesday. Having a chance to talk with the guys from Motley Crue...Nikki, Tommy and Mick...they are really cool dudes to chat with. Also having a chance to touch base with the supporting bands that will be joining Crue on the road next year Theory of a Deadman and Hinder was very cool. It is going to be a very good show with opening act The Last Vegas being proof that when opportunity knocks you better make the most of it...the guys are the winners of a joint venture between Motely Crue and our friends at Guitar Center who opened up the world wide web in search of unsigned talent to upload their stuff in hopes of a shot at the big time...they did and they won. As I sit here in my office it feels good thinking about these guys getting their shot...who would have thought that little smart ass sitting in the back row of history class shooting spit balls at the head of the teacher would find himself living the dream of working in the field he dreamt of since he was 8 years old and not only that but in a format that he lives and breathes...certainly not me...but here I am almost 20 years in the business and still kicking ass. If you ever find yourself thinking you hate your job...that it isn't quite what you wanted to be doing with your life...F' it...do what you want to do...don't stay with a job you hate just to pay the bills. Do something you love with your life...go to school (it is never too late to do that) if you have to but do what you "want" to do not what you "have" to do...because that just sucks and it will suck the life right out of you if you continue doing it. You know the old joke about the stripper who was only dancing her way through med school? You can stop laughing because when you wake up in the hospital...she might be the one you're depending on saving your life...it happens.

Until Next Time...
