This was a great read. I’m always fascinated by band dynamics from an outside perspective. I’ve always fantasized bands and assumed they’re made up exclusively of “best friends from childhood”. Never really viewed it as a business where members are subbed in/out and replaced, etc.
Thanks, Jon! In my experience, even when you are in bands with close friends, there has to be space for people to change their mind about their level of commitment. It seems like some bands keep the same members forever, but I don't know how they do it! Maybe they have a manager mediating all their issues for them...
Sure you don't want to stay?
