image might not be everything but it's pretty huge if you actually want a career in music. As annoying as that is.

I found my listening material for the morning!

Too much focus leads to tunnel vision
Too much faith leads to religion
Too much knowledge leads to confusion
Too many guitar lessons lead to jazz-fusion

Yeah, completely caught off guard there. I'd have expected Black Flag or, more likely, Green Day, and instead we have some pretty damned good fusion.
