Re: creative isolation

[PMimlitsch@aol.com]

 a few observations:    
1)accept the fact that you are, at least to some extent, a product of your
environmet. Thus everything is an "influence".
2)"bad" influences are of our own creation. they usually result from
idolizing a particlar artist or style and becoming trapped with-in those
confines. The problem then becomes one of trying to negate the influence.
Working within the confines of the "bad" influence or trying to negate the
"bad" influence are both wastes of time.

The truely unique "live" 1) and don't bother themselves with 2)

Take care. And try not to think so much. ;-)  --Paul
