Personally, I love hearing about the long musical, about recording sessions, productions of THE BRAIN, and work sessions on all of BK's books.
Just to clarify, I never said that I never wanted to read anything more about "the long musical". I just got to wondering exactly "Why?" bk was working on "the long musical" since almost every post about "the long musical" was a "vent" and/or a "rant". -Why would one continue to work on something that was a continual source of frustration and non-fulfillment? Had bk become a glutton for punishment? If I wanted to read about a sinking ship, I'd rather read about The Titanic. (My apologies for the comparison.) Well...
Then, last night, I asked bk "Why?", and he answered. And, now, all that venting and ranting makes sense.
I really do believe that Progress leads to more Progress, and that Happiness leads to more Happiness. -And I also believe in the flipside of that equation. It's too easy to spiral downward these days. Way too easy. All of us on this board are dealing with some sort of, for lack of a better word, "sadness" - whether we've shared that with everyone or not. It could be small, it could be big, but it's there. A health issue. A tenuous job situation. A strained relationship with a family member. An inconsiderate upstairs neighbor. Etc., etc., etc. We all have problems. But we also have non-problems. It's nice to hear about those too from time to time.
To hijack a metaphor from a former DR: If everyone is bickering in the living room, I'm heading to the kitchen. (Which is where most musicians end up anyway.)
