has anyone found that it's difficult to become a successful musician and retain/make freinds?
like about three years ago me and my freinds used to talk to andrew from the band Against Me! and when they came up to the big city we hung out after the show and told them to come and play in our town, and they did it. Well now these guys are really big, like they could be on MTV if they wanted to, and they just don't have the initiative to play every single small venue where there's only gonna be 50 kids there anymore.
this is just an example and not everyone is like that, but I got to thinking about it cuz I bumped into a guy from a band that I would really like to talk to about some things, and I know he's a good guy but he has a family and his own shit to deal with and he doesn't have the time to go through 1,000 emails from people.
it just seems like kind of a shame that no matter how humble of a person you are, the more influence you get the less real human relationships you are capable of, it's always going to be you as a rockstar and everyone else as the people that listen to your band.
anyone have any expereinces/thoughts on this?
