Pat is currently a member of Mezcal Mike's favorite local band:

DRAMA the Darkside is ... and EGO leads to DRAMA.

So my young apprentice in one's vigilance to better once's self it becomes necessary to FIX one's EGO from time to time.

Forever remember my young Padawan:

An unwarranted EGO leads to jealousy, jealousy leads to envy, envy leads to resentment, resentment leads to suspicion, suspicion leads to insecurity AND ... insecurity leads to DRAMA

With the blast shield down I can’t see how many people there are and how much money I’m being paid.

... A Jedi cares not of financial reward or the size of the crowd.
... To a Jedi not matter if he is making one dollar or thousands.
... nor does it matter if there is one or thousands in attendance.

Only cares a Jedi about sounding good, giving the audience 100% while he continuously learns and evolves musically ... in a learning curve that hopefully never a plateau reaches.

All this a Jedi does while he strives to continuously grow as a musician and a person.

... Forever fighting the temptation of the easy path promised by the Darkside
... Forever vigilant of the DRAMA.  

Goooooooood ... I can feel the DRAMA flowing within you.

Create an EGO that is unsubstantiated ...

Ignore your insecurities derived from your overall inabilities and lack of skill ...

Let your jealousy consume you ...

Ridicule that which you cannot achieve ...

Criticize that which is different ...

And your transformation to the Darkside will be complete!  

Can one achieve musical enlightenment without study, practice or learning?



... NOT from a Jedi.
