Crowdfunding As An Idea Itself Isn't New

I've Watched So Many Women, From Kathleen Hanna All The Way Up To Taylor Swift, Whether They're Pop Artists Or Rock Stars Or Fine Artists Or Writers, It Is The Subhistory Of Female Artists That If You're Going To Make Art, You're Also Going To Have A Full-time Job Of Defending Your Right To Make Art.

You're Not Going To Be Perfect, You're Not Going To Stop Berating Yourself, You're Not Going To Stop The Comparisons, You're Not Going To Stop The Judgment, But You Can Become Evermore Mindful Of It, And That Has To Be Good Enough.

I Make The Music That I Want To Make And Make The Show That I Want To Make. If You Like It, You Come. If You Don't Like It, You Don't Have To.

I Think I Can Define My Entire Life, Virtuosity And Business Philosophy Down To The Core Fundamental That I Absolutely Hate Being Told What To Do. But Like Any Artist Or Any Human Being Out There, I Desperately Want To Be Loved, And I Spend My Entire Life Trying To Balance Those Two Facts.

The Challenge Is To Just Focus On What's Actually Happening, Focus On The People Who Get It, And Focus On The People Who Are Listening.
