I've been listening to various actors, rock stars, etc. tell their stories in audio book form for a couple of years now. I find it interesting to learn about the arc of some of these folk's lives.
BTW, I only spend my time with people I find interesting, this eliminates about 9/10 of the 'stars' in People or Us magazines. Full disclosure; I actually get both of these rags despite the fact I never ordered them. OK, OK, I do crack them open for a perverse look at how Celebs are Just Like Us! only thinner, way more beautiful, and just... glamorous!!
Who have I listened to and enjoyed hearing about?
Bruce Springsteen
Steven Van Zandt
Matthew McConaughey
Nick Offerman
Among many others
I look forward to hearing about how they were influenced by Dad, Mom, Coach, whoever and took a leap into the Big Time after eating cold beans out of a can for two years. (So to speak). The mechanism of rags to riches / fame and fortune. fascinates us all right?
Well, gentle reader, I have decided to do my own story here in these blog pages.
Stay tuned for the did and the didn't of my career.
Yes, all you people that ask:
"Cubil, What happened?"
with a sad tone in your voice will finally find out
That yes:
I did write write, record, and release a number of my own songs - and people liked them!
I did travel and play some tony (and tiny) gigs
I did appear on television many times, even national TV
Performed in front of +50,000 fans multiple times... as well as (basically) empty rooms
But I'm getting ahead of myself.
