About half of the artists and musicians I meet are quite pretentious, trying to be the big fish in a small pond. They project this certain attitude that’s a little difficult to describe. Its as if they belong to a special club, and want to make sure they don’t accidentally let the wrong people in. Others are required to prove themselves before they deserve attention.

I’m acquainted with a lot people like this, but I don’t consider them “my people”. I prefer to befriend those to which the pretentious would upturn their noses. These are really the most interesting people on Earth, if you can get past the quirkiness, the eccentricity, the fear of the unknown. Its a little ironic, in a sense being a pretentious artist is counter-artistic, against originality.
