Trust your friends
My greatest fear is that the people I trust the most are no longer being straight with me.
Sure, I say and do some pretty stupid things and I can be a difficult guy to like. The reality is I’ve got a pretty small circle of friends and I trust them to let me know if I’m doing the wrong thing, being a jerk or just plain getting it wrong…what happens when they don’t?
I’ve got a pretty poor self-checking filter, I’ve never been too sharp at thinking before I speak. I try to get better at it as I get older, but you can’t beat those closest to you to let you know if you’ve been a dick.
Dem blues…
I’m certain people want to know why I play the blues…why does a fat, wealthy guy from the inner north need to play the blues?
Well for starters, I wasn’t always fat — that sure as hell has got to be enough of a cross to bear. I certainly wasn’t always wealthy. And I most definitely didn’t start my life out in the inner north. Each of those reasons are like points on a blues compass.
Fortunately though, I’ve always been a guy.
