Train Wreck

Everyone stops to check out the train wreck, the accident, the events gone wrong. This web site is about music, life, and computers. Anyone who might be wanting to be that next star, the next big thing, a rock star take note.

One will gravitate towards people who will support their ideas and share their interests. If they are doing drugs, or abusing alcohol along the way to the "top", they will still gravitate to people who support their ideas and shared interests. The only problem is that these people have found support from a group not like them. They have clouded judgement from the alcohol and drugs. And the train wreck will happen.

Understanding, and loving friends will try to stop the wreck. And this just pushes the person closer to his or her support group. The group on the train.

Paris Hilton (from my public observations) is an example. In a young girls quest for fame (she already had fortune) she finds herself in a situation that made her famous (not the way most girls would like I might add). Sure, it was a price for stardom. I have no problem with that (not so much) but that was not the final price. Just watch what happens. She already is having alcohol related problems (drinking and driving). She keeps running to that support group (the group of false hope) and soon the train wreck comes. Her only escape is more drugs (Downward Spiral, Nine Inch Nails).

And that is how it basically happens. I only mention this to aspiring musicians because if you read the above words carefully, I never really mentioned anything about MUSIC. And whether your art is music, painting, acting, coming home from work, school, or everyday life the train will be stopping by to pick you up.

Friends will be pushing you towards the train, and friends will be on the train wanting you to stay. "Reason" will stop by and say you worked hard, it's time to take a break and have some fun. "Justification" is already aboard and waiting to party. All they need is you. While on that train, your art will be lost, and your friends slowly disappear as the train departs.

Focus on your art. Your dreams will come to you.
