seems i keep learning the same lesson over and over:
to not ignore any signs of the way someone feels -- to be more sensitive to what might be going on in other people's heads.
a lot of times you get a sign or a hunch that something might be going on, and addressing it is better than ignoring it -- if it's not the case, and you are imagining it, no big deal. if it is the case, then the other party will appreciate you addressing the issue, and it will prevent a situation down the road.
similar preventions could have stopped minor to major relationship disasters in the past. whether with friends or significant others.
and i guess any kind of artistic partnership is a type of relationship with a unique set of circumstances and maybe even more difficult to manage. there is passion involved. there is the sharing of a vision and lots of other things involved. there are personal sacrifices involved. there is money and popularity and press and image involved. and for musicians there are loads of unpredictable, extreme, difficult and stressful situations involved.
have heard often stories of band members at each other's throats on tour or whatever. it can be very sad if such an event threatens to or actually destroys a fruitful partnership.... just had some beers with a member of the basic channel crew who mentioned that he hopes that Rhythm and Sound will be able to resolve what ever issues have accumulated between them over the years...
stories and/or advice welcome
