See, that's why I've never been in a band . . . too busy doing this!

Seriously, though, it takes both. Put it this way: introverts *and* extroverts. For every Shayne O'Neill, Durham still has a Dan Melchior: http://www.myspace.com/dasmenace

Talk about a crank at the bottom of a well . . .

it's occasionally occurred to me that it takes an
awful lot of energy and brainspace that might otherwise be spent writing and practicing, and that viable artistic scenes seem to more often arise around obsessives and cranks who make great art, who tend to be jealous of their time, and who would have no problem discovering influences and inspiration if they found themselves living at the bottom of a well. I suppose I'm proposing a chicken or egg problem with no answer; I just happen to follow the cranks and hermits more closely than the ebb and flow of the scene.
