Honestly, as a witness to you in the process of creating is an art in and of itself. It's all about the process, not the product. Thanks for sharing moments of such experiences
Joe, thanks for sharing this. My college students struggle with perfectionism, and I can't wait to share this with them! There is joy in developing, improvising, finding your way - like we did when we were little kids!
I think the process is part of the biggest part. Being in the studio is where it’s at. Making that great music. Hit record hit album. I mean when you see Justin in studio making justified. You realize they are actually making a classic. But they are just in the process of working. Getting the singing right. The drums as you show Justin the recording the sound. Piano Neptunes do it. So brotha you are right there. In terms of how studio sessions go. Justin and Pharrell were doing it. Process leads to art being made. This all starts in singing lessons. What I will say about Cowboy Carter it had to be made. Where we are at now? We need it. We needed this album. And having Beyonce and Miley on a record together. Was powerful stuff. Where we are at. This was perfect to show these two on a record together. Unified. And music wise it’s a great record. Great stuff Joesph. Keep writing about the music would be good to get your reviews on some other genres. You know yesterday was the release and debut of Nevermind another great classic. Thanks brotha.
I love this. "You could probably get AI to add drums...but why?" - exactly. The process of creating is what feels good. I've spent countless hours learning to draw over the past couple of years, and to begin with, it was all about the result, and whether I got it "right". But now, when I see how I'm getting better, little by little, sketch by sketch, that's where the magic is. Thanks for this reminder, Joe.
Also, what you said about music being about the people always reminds of this Ani Drifranco quote:
"People used to make records, as in a record of an event, the event of people Playing music in a room."
Yes! You’ve articulated something I’ve been thinking a lot about since I started learning to paint. It’s difficult to be bad at something but…there is value, and fun, for me in the immersion of an artistic task. Encoding memory via holistic immersion.
Ok you were right about the taxes but all you said was taxes. Nothing else. I've asked you for help and I'm not getting it. They want me to take care of it myself like it's easy down here in Florida to get stuff done but it's not. They're racist and abusive here. All the guys care about is Star wars and the wrong guys physically touching me. Instead of helping me without a relationship commitment. Even if I picked a guy they wouldn't care about taxes or I.D.s all they care about Joe is sex.
My neighbor picked me up because they wouldn't let anyone else give me a ride home unless it was a black man who they could get to talk about cops and he has a police scanned
Love this so much! The point of creativity is to create and enjoy the process

The old guys are also asking outloud, “am I alone. Where are you from, which football team is your favorite?” Meaning which guy is my favorite?
Why can't I get car rides from someone we know? Thats not an Uber. Like you can knock on my door anytime with a car

Waiting until 8am EST is not the answer
