  Ezla if you are going to survive the music industry you better become a cynical, bitter, hard-arse, butt-kicking pitbull.
Goddamn Annie G(Manni's tour manager) is 7 months pregnant and she's still got more fight in her than a wounded tiger. Going head to head on her is making my brain hurt and I have a sneaking suspicion she enjoys it. However she does give me a great insight into how a guy would act if guys could get pregnant. I swear there is not a sentimental, maternal bone in her body.
It occurs to me that this industry has a really nasty habit of producing many professionals who live their entire careers in fear of being fired and who spend their entire lives covering their posterior. I never ever want to live that way. You do things on your own terms or you don't do them at all. I would rather fail spectacularly in my own ventures than scrap around as someone's lackey for 20 years. "Plop" is the sound of me hopping off my soapbox.
