Here's
an example..
I
was living in Austin where rockaholixism
is an addiction slackers admit to, if not pride themselves
on it. And this musician guy moves in across the street
and lives without electricity for about 3 months! So I finally
go over and ask him, “Hey, what’s up with the
no electricity thing?”
With out hesitation he tells me,
“I’m buying a drumset!”
I think for a minute and say...
"I thought I heard you were a keyboard player?"
And he nods but before he can go on.. I get it –
"Oh, it’s so the band can rehearse
at your house.."
“Totally!” he answers.
Yep,
totally Rockaholix!
If
this sounds like you or someone you know please go immediately
to: R U a Rockaholix?
Here's
my story..
Well
after being in tons of rock bands -
my rock finally hit bottom - when I looked in the mirror
and I saw just how high...
my hair had actually gotten.
I mean it was the 80’s -
but is that really an excuse?
I don’t know what kinda excuse there is for the 80's...
but that’s when
I first had to ask myself...
How did I get here?
I mean, I started out innocent enough - singing in the shower...
(We all do that right?)
running around in my skivvies with a hair brush mic &
air guitar...
(We all do that
too... thanks to Tom Cruise in the film Risky Business.)
There I was, suddenly at a red light beating on the steering
wheel like a drum, while wailing at the top of my lungs
to a rock song blasting from the car stereo with my fist
in the air in the rockin' horns position
(Beevis & Butthead style) moving it to the beat... (Ok
maybe we don't all do that... but apparently that wasn't
enough to show me I was a rockaholix...yet.)
The next thing ya know I’m urban camping in my van
in LA with:
“Do or die gotta get a record deal!”
“Do or die gotta get a record deal!”
jammin’ like a non-stop loop in my brain. And I'm handing out demos to anyone who says they're in
the biz or that they know someone, who knows someone, who's
sister's second removed cousin's friend...
you get my point.
That’s when I knew I had to get help...
but guess what?
There wasn't any.
Nope.
So that’s why I started R.A.!
And after "white knuckling" it for a while and
(for my kid's sake) playing
acoustic folk in cafes. I found that it only
made me even harder to deal with and my life even more "unmanageable".
(Partcially due to the fact
that I didn't have... a manager
-
we'll save that one for the movie!)
Then, I began to see that Rockaholixism is not like Alcoholism
- where you have to give up the booze like... forever. No,
it’s more like O.A. - I mean overeaters still needs
to eat and Rockaholix still need to ROCK & as soon as you ROCK 4 PEACE...
ROCK 4 YOUR HIGHER POWER - GOD AS YOU UNDERSTAND SOUCE... OUR CREATOR.
THAT'S WHEN I FOUND MY INNER ROCKSTAR AND WELL MY HUSBAND TOO - WHO HELPED ME TO SEE IT IN MYSELF.
HE HAD JUST PRODUCED HIS OWN ALBUM OF MUSIC PLAYING ALL
THE INSTRUMENTS & IT WAS AWESOME! THROUGH HIS EXAMPLE
I BEGAN TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE ROCKAHOLIX PART WAS NOT THE
MUSIC...
IT WAS THE MUSIC BUISNESS & WHAT IT DOES TO
SENSITIVE CREATIVE ARTISTS TYPES -
I HAVE SEEN BOTH GETTING &
NOT GETTING SUCCESS HURT
MANY IN THE MUSIC BIZ.
