7.13.11 Adam News & Info

Brought this over from MJs, and is off topic, but is awesome. Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters kicks some ahole out of his iTunes Festival show..LOL!

Reminds me of when Adam stopped his show for the girl talking on the cellphone, and when he made the two people hug or makeup during a Europian show I think.

You should only need to click on the Megavideo link.. it should take you to a screen with an arrow to start vid.. then I got a second screen w/arrow which then started the vid..(should just need to left click for the megavideo)

These should be in 4M's timeline.. I sent her the links a long time ago..

Kanadie

thank you for the vid.

Dave Grohl rules 8-)

John Mayer 2011 Clinic – “Manage the Temptation to Publish Yourself”

"Mayer began the clinic explaining that, although the industry has changed with the advent of social media, creating music requires the same discipline it always has, if not more discipline to combat the added distraction of online promotion. Referring to the allure of having an instant, albeit often shallow and fleeting, online audience, John Mayer cautioned against seeking out “joy in little, tiny statements – little, tiny applause hits.”

"But John Mayer’s main reason for discouraging promotion came from his own struggle to curb using social media, which should have been an outlet for promotion but eventually became an outlet for artistic expression. Mayer shared that he found himself asking himself questions like “Is this a good blog? Is this a good tweet? Which used to be is this a good song title? Is this a good bridge?”

And possibly more alarming, Mayer realized that pouring creativity into smaller, less important, promotional outlets like twitter not only distracted him from focusing on more critical endeavors like his career, it also narrowed his mental capacity for music and writing intelligent songs."
