I would argue talent isn't even in the top ten list of important qualities for "success" in the music world.

Confirmed! A couple I knew changed flights last Month and went to Canada instead.

I agree, this is posted as news when it's likely anecdotal or even fabricated. It plays on the American self-image as John Wayne types, when everyone in Europe knows they're usually not very streetwise and walk around with maps and cameras talking loudly.

The other comments here are quick to jump in with opinions about how Americans don't take any shit, implying European simps just roll over for these pesky pilferers.

It's a real Don't Mess with Texas vibe based on another dodgy blog article.

I like that the lions don't quite fit on the gateposts.

I think he's one of those readers who cannot take in the content of text while focusing on reading. You'll notice he only starts freewheeling on the last word or two of a sentence or paragraph. That's all he's heard.

I think I first heard this from an article by Tony Schwartz who wrote The Art of the Deal. He mentioned seeing the speeches book by Trump's bed during one of their brief meetings about Trump's book, which Trump took no part in.

I've been on Qobuz for a while now. It's not quite as good as Spotify when it comes to catalogue or community playlists. Other than that, I haven't seen any AI slop or ghost musicians, and the suggestions are very human. I believe they pay about 4x royalties that Spotify does.

This is fair enough, but it's your own belief system. Atheism is the absence of belief in God's, nothing more.

You're free to thoughtfully pick and choose your own beliefs, in the same way religious people unconsciously do because their scriptures are so dense and contradictory.
