<p>This quote ,often used in Pink Floyd debates, made me think of band dynamics and how 'ego' can create amazing pieces of work one day and tear them down the next. Almost everyone I have ever met in bands/music/arts has an ego, this is essential if you want to get up on a stage or put your work out for others to watch, listen and comment on. However, the older I get the more I realise bands needs a driving force, direction to take them forward. Democracy in a band slows everything down ,if everyone has an equal say you end up pulling in different directions or writing songs by committee. we would love to hear your views on this.</p>Crows In The Cornfieldtag:crowsinthecornfield.com,2005:Post/63507962020-06-12T08:17:03+01:002022-09-29T12:55:19+01:00Why We Do We Do It?<p>Another question often asked is 'Why do you do it/bother?' People say 'You,will never be famous', you will never make any money' etc. This is missing the point, nice as those things might be, they are just by products of the process and not the motivation for creating something. We write because we have to, an itch impossible to ignore . Love, The Crows.</p>Crows In The Cornfield
