When a record company makes a mistake, the artist pays for it. When a manager makes a mistake, the artist pays for it. When the artist makes a mistake, the artist pays for it.

There are no mistakes, save one: the failure to learn from a mistake.

I continue to explain that plot inconsistencies in B movies are consistent, and should not be allowed to undermine one's enjoyment of the action, nor the fundamental credibility of the storyline: the good & bad guys are clearly delineated & easily recognizable, the hero duffs over the baddies, things blow up loudly & spectacularly, the good guy wins. Entirely credible.

And if you are playing in several meters at once, there has to be a - not a rigid - but there definitely has to be a reference to a common pulse in the band.

Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence.

There is a difference between being a timekeeper and keeping the pulse or being in step with the pulse in the band.

A mistake is always forgivable, rarely excusable and always unacceptable.
