Art by Committee

Playing in a rock band is art by committee. That can yield an incredibly potent result, but also comes with a lot of baggage. I hate making decisions by Robert's Rules of Order . And just the logistics of getting four or five people who all have jobs, spouses, and self-will in the same place at the same time can be a Sisyphean task.

This week, as I am writing this chapter, I am also booking a fall European tour to go over and present my movie all across the UK and the continent . And I'm gonna play a little music (solo guitar and vocal) at some of the shows. And it's literally easier for me to book a solo tour in Europe than to book a show or sometimes even a practice here in LA and get everyone to show up. And my band isn't even flaky by band standards. That's just the nature of art by committee.
