The traditional image of a rock star includes a number of
clichés, which would not be flattering in any other context. Some of the crowd
favorites are substance abuse, intense sexual appetite, property destruction
and other self-sabotaging behavior that only a celebrity of a certain breed can
get away with come out even more popular than before. One of the relatively
minor aspects of the rock star’s image is “the drop out”. This implies
everything from dropping out of family, the workforce, mainstream society but
first and foremost, school. Now this could either be a symptom of the
frustrated and creative mind or simply inspiration drawn from what is
frankly/probably the most overrated song Pink Floyd ever wrote.
There’s no doubt that some of you have followed this path. But others of you were responsible teenagers who love your parents enough to go to
college, but not enough to study anything they’d consider useful. Now, if you
fall into this category and studied music in college, many of probably had
roughly the same experience. You definitely learned something, but not that
much, you had a lot of fun and came out if it a better musician, though you
can’t quite tell how. However there are things that they definitely do not
teach you in music school that absolutely vital to achieving your dream
carrying out all the other clichés. Some of these elusive lessons are how to
get along with other bands, how to handle frustration, and how to carry a large
bass amp around without shattering every bone in your foot. For a comprehensive
