Fair enough, everyone and their Grandma is making music, trying to ‘make it in music’.  Given my post yesterday on scarcity, I don’t really have a bone to pick with that.  If your gonna say your Spartacus, though your better off also keeping any confessions of being an impersonator to yourself.   So yes, I was trying to be ironical with this swishism, the takeaway is simple:  “fake it until you make it” works only if there are no tell tale signs that you are less than 100% authentic; instead of trying to persuade everyone your are not inauthentic, it’s much easier to just be authentic. No worrying you’ll be found out, no declarations of ‘No, I am spartacus’, and thankfully, no double negatives.  Hardly a revelation I know, but everyone Spartacus needs reminding.

    Interesting post! For me, being authentic requires confidence that any success doesn’t need to look like what people tell me it should look like.

    Great and succesful definition. I like it… but even if I didn’t it would still be so ;)
