I saw a social media post and I laughed and laughed. It made me think about a quote Jason Garner got from his wife (I think): “We are forever trying to teach the lessons we need to learn ourselves.” The post was trying to highlight the authenticity of a certain artist as the genuine article, a real McCoy type. In the same breath it was casting shade on the local musicians in the area as hacks and posers. If you could see the aesthetic or brand this individual puts out into the world you’d have to laugh at the irony. What could have been acknowledged is that any town in the world has roughly the same percentage of people that don’t do things for the love of the game but for attention.
