Funny, but mean...
Now I'm the first person to encourage others to create and follow their passion even if it means they aren't the best at something. It's expression and I'm a huge advocate of that. But as I cover and write about a lot of "talented" people in the performing arts, I'm also sadly aware that there happen to be many instances where those "talented" people crossover to dabble in other performing arts which might not exactly really be their forte.
I know many love whatever their favorite actor/actress does in any medium, regardless if they are good or bad, but I'm not one of them. Matter of fact, I kinda prefer my actors to just act, really, and unless they are the rare exception and also have an amazing voice or maybe started with singing and then went to acting, I have a hard time giving the music a listen. I mean, I try, but I often end up cringing and just feel bad for hearing it at all. Like really bad...I was just wondering why that is?
Anyway, my lovely friend is sending me the new James Marsters CD for a listen so we can exchange thoughts on it and I'm starting to get that feeling like I'm scared to put it in the CD player - lol. And I told a friend of mine in the music business that it's coming and he said, "...do not play that marsters cd, blood will seep from the speakers. don't hurt them, don't hurt yourself." I yelped in laughter when I read that. I don't want to be mean, but come on....am I being mean?
