asshole.

Now waaaaaaait I don’t think he’s such an asshole at all. I can completely relate to what he’s saying. Several years ago, he had a really great idea, and he started to go with it. And he made two albums. And then he realized that he had committed to something that would literally take up the rest of his career, and no artist wants to get stuck working on a single project for their entire life. Even if he worked at the outrageous rate of an album per year, that is fifty years. And at that speed, they would be total crap. I seriously don’t think he’s saying that it was a joke on his fans or anything, but more like the fact that he thought he could really do it was absurd. The questions he’s asking are valid. It really sounds like he’s having an existential crisis, which is something I appreciate more than if he just kept making progressively shittier music because he was tired of what he was doing. At least now his fans know what’s going on.

Anyone who creates anything can’t tell me they haven’t had this exact same dilema at least once in their lives.
