being the lion or the lamb

John Gotti the mob boss once said it is better to live one year like a lion than 10 years like a lamb. Nowhere is that more true than in the world of music. I have recently been selected to become a member of the recording Academy, which is also known as the Grammys. I am so honored, I attended a couple of grammy events this past week, and met power brokers in the music industry as well as famous celebrities. It is way more interesting than County commission meetings. I have been involved in the music industry since 1993. However now the stakes are really high. People at all levels are coming up to me asking me to put them in my paper and I never had to say no before because nobody really knew what I did. Now I'm a member of the most prestigious music organization in the world. I am no longer the anonymous freelance reporter that I once was. I'm getting deeper and deeper on all levels of the music industry. Nobody, and I mean nobody has a cleaner, clearer vision of what it takes to make it in the industry better than I do. The odds of making it are a thousand to one. I see people give up everything for that one shot to make it big. Yet here I am in the industry I so love taking photos hanging with rock stars and future rock stars and people who think they be rock stars, but will never be rock stars. My boss today made predictions about the Senate race that is in the paper for all to see. Personally, I'm not getting involved and not at all. You see I to make predictions. My prediction I feel are far more greater. I have to predict who the next big music stars will be and follow them before they make it big. Every night before going to bed. I have that fear in the back of my mind that I will make a mistake and overlook a major artist in the making. I don't want to be a Larry Miller... He was the radio producer that told Howard Stern he would be a failure in the radio industry. as for the Parkinson's it has leveled off and I think meeting celebrities helps my nervous system because when I meet celebrities. I get little nervous. I'm talking major celebrities A-list celebrities, so when I am back in the normal world I'm much more calm. I can see how the fast life in reporting can be very addicting. it is exciting and everything I ever wanted. c Please note.
