I just bought a new CD (yeah, I paid for music, who does that?) called Lonely Avenue by Ben Folds and Nick Hornby. I like the work of both those peoples so a collaboration must be a good thing right? Well so far it is, but I haven't listened all the way though it. I'm digressing though. The real reason I bought this CD rather than getting any sort of download was the special edition comes in a book with 4 short stories by Nick and photographs, which I wanted. An added bonus was the is a section talking about the inspiration behind all the songs and there's one quote I want to share with you because it related very nicely to one of my first posts. The song he's talking about is called 'A Working Day' and the quote goes like this:
'I was talking to one of the parent's at my kid's school. He's an artist, and I asked him how his day had been. "Oh you know," he said "I'm either a genius or a wanker."'
I think that's brilliant, and should really be the attitude every artist should have because you can't be a genius all the time.
That's just not fair.
