you stop that shit right the **** now.
slap your god dam bass before i slap your god damn face.
you dont get to just give up because youre not the best.
you put your head down and riff till those fingers bleed and then you powerslide till youve hit the bone.
do you think that lars ulrich said " im not the best. better quit metallica"? um. no. he did not. regardless of what the fans wanted.
do you think that david bowie said " im too british to be great?" no he didnt.
do you think that eric Clapton was born that good?.. he was. but others were not and hard work pays off.
Look all I'm saying is a real adult knows when to pack it in. I released my most mature and accomplished album yet this year and it got a fraction of the plays and downloads of my last one, and even further less than my shitty first EP. So if I keep going, what? I keep making increasingly better and more accomplished music whilst simultaneously getting more obscure. Its utterly pointless and the more I do it, the more disappointed and jaded I'll become. If I give it up now, i can instead focus on other projects, which sure will also fall upon dead ears but at least then I'm not suffering absolute failure and only moderate failure, hopefully a form of failure that won't spark a serious suicide attempt. Hell, I'm doing this out of self-preservation, I'm not just giving up for the sake of it. I just know myself too well and would rather give up one part of me than let myself fall into depths I know I wouldn't be able to return from.

There are still real adults left in the UK? 😉
Said adults should be protesting their horrible government convicting people for jokes.
Is there even like a petition? Cuz folks there had a petition about Trump.
