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.
