Are Musicians A*sholes By Nature?
 

I mean, in order to be truly great, you almost have to be a self-involved prick and really have to believe in what you're doing. if you read up on a lot of great musicians, the one thing they have in common is that they're all *******s.

I mean, I'm a ****ty musician and i'm an ******* right now. I can't imagine how I'd be if everyone was kissing my ass all day

I think you could say the same thing about businessmen, no? You just can't be a pussy if you're going to get to the top.

There are a great number of musicians that are not assholes at all. About as many as there are assholes who aren't musicians.

I don't think great musicians are necessarily assholes but I would agree that the nature of a lot of musicians tends to lend themseves to it. For example, a lot of musicians are quite self-indulgent which can easily lead to them wanting things to sound exactly how they want it rather than what everyone else wants, causing conflicts.

That's a bad thing? Sure am glad we have all this manufactured radio music, then.

when did I say it was a bad thing?

That is way too broad of a statement man...

You coupled it with "To be great, you have to be a prick" and then you said "Great musicians are jerks"

Nice to see a screencap from the most underrated masterpiece of animation ever...

*looks at watch*

Euthanasia anyone?
