What sense or thought do they have? They follow the popular singers, and they take the crowd as their teacher.
I tell my son Corey that the greatest teacher is the teacher who says, 'Don't follow me; follow yourself. Because within you there is that kingdom, that life, that force.'
There comes a time as an artist, can't follow the crowd. You have to do YOU, and make the crowd follow you.
My background is that I've spent a lot of time marketing entertainment. One of the old saws in package goods is you can take something that is popular and you can make it more popular. But if you take something less popular, you can't automatically market it into the same success as something that's already popular.
Those who follow the crowd will never be followed by the crowd.
I taught my boys it is easy to follow a crowd. Anybody can do that. It takes a man to stand up for your principles. You cut your own path in life. Chase after whatever your heart's desire is, and instead of following the crowd, let somebody else follow you. That takes a little guts.
Don't follow the crowd. The crowd doesn't get there. They just run round and around in a crazy race. It never ends.
If a spiritual teacher says something that doesn't make sense to you, you should always listen to yourself and not the teacher. A little common sense would end all cults.
Follow the crowd and you will never be followed by a crowd.
The best songs are stories, and the best singers storytellers. Great singers can make you care about what they're feeling. You have a sense of knowing them.
Never judge something by whether it is popular or not. You don't have to follow trends. No one thought William Wilberforce was right at first.
Diligent follow-up and follow-through will set you apart from the crowd and communicate excellence.
Teacher is not a great popular person. They teach what they know and make people better than them. Teacher must create a student better than him or her. Otherwise that person is not a teacher but a preacher. There are tons and thousands of preachers.
Most hierarchies are nowadays so cumbered with rules and traditions, and so bound in by public laws, that even high employees do not have to lead anyone anywhere, in the sense of pointing out the direction and setting the pace. They simply follow precedents, obey regulations, and move at the head of the crowd. Such employees lead only in the sense that the curved wooden figurehead leads the ship .
I don't think I'm turning back the clock by doing these old tunes. I love rock and roll and popular music. It's just that the spirits of the singers whose songs I do are living within me. That's why the songs come out in the voices of the original singers. I'm not doing imitations. That's the way they sound inside me.
Never follow the crowd in what you do; the crowd has never produced anything of lasting quality, value or beauty.
The way I see it, all the popular singers are strippers.
