Take a rock star’s approach to life
Harness your spunk to fight through the rough patches.
Someone flat out called me a rock star last week. A coworker. It was embarrassing. Because I don’t play the guitar. I have zero piercings. And I’ve never trashed a hotel room.
Don’t misunderstand. These things are definitely on my bucket list. I’ll even do cocaine after I retire.
But I’ve thought about what it means to be a rock star. What makes a rock star different from a regular person? It has less to do with the clothes and hair. More with the attitude.
I’m thinking the David Bowie kind. Not Axl Rose.
Anyone who toured with Guns ‘N Roses in the 90s could probably explain the difference. Other bands describe Axl as constantly high. Confrontational. Rude. Privileged. Bossy. Before concerts, he would reserve the entire back stage for himself and spend half his time walking around in tiny boxers. This act didn’t impress people like Chris Cornell.
We’ve all known some wannabe rock stars. The ones who won’t stop talking about themselves. Their projects. They’ll listen to you just long enough to say something judgmental about your life.
Then it’s back to them.
