Re: Seeking Band Mates w/ "No Ego"

Northampton MA

Description

Musicians who go around placing Craigslist ads looking for musicians with "no egos" need to brush up on their psychology! - EGO is the Soul's interface with family, community and life itself. - SUPER EGO guides the ego and protects it from the soul-devouring impulse that drives the material world. - FALSE EGO (the one these ads are trying to talk about) is self-identification that's nowhere.  False ego apes authenticity - it's what The Beatles' "Nowhere Man" is all about. Am I losing you ? - EGO IDEAL is the Soul's best shot at representing free will and love. Ego Ideal knows and loves freedom, knows where The Pocket is and knows where The Zone is at (because s-he personifies both!)  Ego Ideal is the diff between a (rock'n'roll) star and a nobody. Some of these cats who want band mates w/ 'no ego' are actually psychic vampires in disguise - dictators that want THEIR ego in charge - to hell with the spirit of healthy competition that naturally guides a band. Folks who aren't into music that frees the soul but want band mates w/ "no ego' might be happier w/ somethin' like a Roland 808.             --- The author is a classic rock drummer, vclist, sound engineer.  'Isn't he a bit like you and me?'
