Thank you! Yes, we will be attending. This is the first notification I've received about this. We will see you Monday, thank you!
Hey Ian
I had a conversation with a music industry friend of mine last week about Ian and the dream
We do not mean to be harsh
We want you to become huge STARS
1) What are you trying to sell? The photos of you guys with Stars are great, but that is not what this is about
2) You can work with 100 Grammy winning producers, but that is not what this is about
3) What this is about is "THE SONGS"
You are a mixture of Billy Joel and Paul McCartney
You (IAN) are a man of great talent You have a great band behind you
Your one flaw is: You are chasing stardom You need to be chasing GREAT SONGS
If you look at The BoDeans you will see what we mean
They did not chase stardom - their only concern was THE SONGS and their songs were GREAT
They were a great band that did not get their well deserved stardom for 2 reasons - A bad record company and a bad manager
Sam and Kurt were first class songwriters first and stars 2nd
Write great songs 1st and your stardom will come
Curt
Peace
