I'd
Be Happy to Scratch Your BackI remember
when I first put the Brobdingnagian Bards on MP3.com and started to learn
the ropes. I would listen daily to music there, but I never listened to bands
that were higher in the charts than we were because I didn't want to boost their
ratings any more than they already were. I
guess greedy. It totally dog-eat-dog. But it wasn't until I started to listen
to my own advice that I started to make some changes and helping my fellow musicians.
And it wasn't until I started to help you that our success took off. Yeah,
there are many reasons why we've done consistently well on the mp3.com charts,
but one of the main ones is that I've been willing to scratch someone elses back
with no expectation of a return. And while there's no expectation, there always
is a return. It's
one of those great conundrums, I guess. I mean, how is it possible that when you
help someone else You will benefit... Yet I'm amazed to see that it happens. And
it happens all the time. The
more I am willing to give, the greater my return. Just
yesterday, I got an email from a Nagian (one of our fans) saying he loved our
music and would do everything he could to promote us. Just ask. But
the only thing I can do is to humbly ask him to turn around and see if he needs
his back scratched.
