Q: my mom doesn't like my music and it's really discouraging. i like my songs (for the most part, there's a few clunkers) and i know that that's what matters, but it still hurts. any advice? also, has this happened to you?
A: music is like hypnosis. the only reason people think any music is good or bad is because something about the way it was delivered has hypnotized them into a positive or negative opinion about it. You may be perfectly good at this process, but, one funny thing about the process is: it doesn't tend to work very well on close friends or family members. they already know you too well
