Adrian Responds to Questions Regarding the Future of The Breakfast

[galenas]

The Breakfast musicians were NEVER lazy!

they certainly do play their hearts out on stage, but how about a new song or two?

[Vassillios]

when it comes to dreams, nothing is too far out of reach

This band is an object lesson that being a successful musician takes more than playing great music.

Change is the game, the game is to change
So don\'t you ever be the same
The nature of life is to always be free
Make Question Mark And The Mind a reality

Hey all these signs what are they saying to me
That the status quo is dangerous, don\'t believe all you read
Go out of your game and play all around
The globe is a playpen for inquiring minds now

Conclusion or not, many ideas yes
Fusion is what I want, fusion is best

Absorbing lots of information don\'t forget to give
Energy is everything and sharing is to live
Inform the young, inform the old and you
May Question Mark And The Mind be a line
To pursue....

To pursue....

To pursue.

Ahh, Question Mark, please bring this one back guys.

You people are stuck on a worldly view of success.
Sad but true,there really isn\'t a "making it" in any of the arts anymore.
The few that do are less than the lottery winners.

There is something sick in people\'s minds, that if you don\'t draw big crowds and make lots of money, you were a failure.
That\'s what this Obsession600 quote implies.

We need to shift our values away from materialism and egotism.

Yes, but when a band slows down the tour machine because it loses money when it plays outside of a set area, money does come into play.  These guys are no longer responsibility free.  Sound business decisions are a necessity.  Long Live TB!

TRUTH: On stage.. NEVER LAZY
OFF STAGE.... if you know you know

Everything else said by Tuna and Ken among others.. right on!!

[jking]

while i agree with ken in general, last time i tried to pay rent in egolessness, my landlord didn\'t take too kindly to it.

[KEN RAFLOWITZ]

Try trading rent for free Breakfast shows, for your landlord!

My post was meant to be a blank canvas for people to paint their opinions on.
What is your definition of success as a musician?
Do you feel the Breakfast is successful by your definition?
Do you think the band considers themselves successful?
Do you think the band\'s aspirations for success have changed over the years?

Ultimately it is a very personal issue that an artist has to address in order to gain fulfillment and happiness.

[tyzack]

Do you feel the Breakfast is successful by your definition?

They make me joyful when I am listening to their music. Artistically, it is/was pushing itself, and me as the consumer of the art, to listen to music in a new way; to hear something I haven\'t heard before and to experince something I can\'t, or don\'t, experince in every day life.

So, in my definition, they are extremely successful.

Unfortunately the world in which we live does not operate on the trading of units of joy.

Fortunately you can trade units of joy in Gamehenge.
