Please understand:
if I do not go to your show
it is no reflection on you
unless you stand by the quality of your work
in which case
yeah
you should probably do better.

If there is an act
whose members I like
but the musical output is subpar
well
I will simply miss that act.

No offense to you
if your band is bad
it is simply a matter of taste.
I like good things.
Your band
is not.

It is simple math.
There are too many groups
in the world
for them all to be good.
With enough practice
yours could join the ranks of quality
but the odds
are against it.

Please understand this
and don’t blame me
if I walk out during your show
crying “this stinks!”
Blame yourself.
