Pope.L: Advice to the Young | Louisiana Channel

[@MingMoonrider]

As a young artist who just turned age 22, I really value this advice. It would have been fun to have met you before you left.... rip

[@katecox5240]

Thank you for this advice. Definitely resonates for me.

I used to wear my cap askew like that when I was a young artist because I thought it showed character and I was emulating the old scruffy guys I saw growing up in the south. They seemed earthy, real and wise to me. A sort of "dummy wise". A natural wisdom that comes from hardship and carelessness. I think we often know less as we get older anyway and being young and carefree and doing it, is where it's at. Releasing that energy and urgency, which doesn't have to be wild and untamed. The brilliance of a young mind can be honed to a point just as readily.

“Enter the ignorance”. Perfectly said. I was listening to a pod cast about history and the historian said something similar in regards to his work. Something like this: history is not cut and dry. There’s many tangents. Answers can be elusive. There’s no real ‘A-Ha moment’ like the Newton’s Apple parable. Researching history is more like a long slow hunch pieced together over time. Lots of players and interconnected, seemingly unrelated parts, play into it. At some point the story reveals itself through a steady reach into the fog.

interesting. happen to remember which podcast and episode?

[@unchartedthickets]

@@ppegah I believe it was one of the podcasts from The Ancients some time in September, October or November. I apologize for being vague. I looked back and see I listened to podcasts about Hannibal, Ramses, Dead Sea Scrolls, Alexander the Great, Gaza, Jesus of Nazareth, and the Vandals. I want to say it might be the Vandals episode but I’m shooting in the dark at this point.

RIP POPE

“Knowing what you’re doing is overrated” is advice that only an artist can give to other artists… Not sure I want to hear the same sentiment from a pediatric surgeon or the guy who fixed the brakes on my car last week.

Advice to the young of how to be a successful artist. Work hard and get good, kiss ass and be lucky. You can also skip the work hard and get good bit depending on who's ass you kiss and the amount of luck. Also read How to Win Friends and Influence People if you want to be a fake fook. Edit: If you go for the work hard and get good don't worry too much about the audience, they will come and others will hate what you do, don't try to please everyone, just be yourself. Also don't listen to other artists advice, most of it is bollocks anyway and most disregard the luck part. Understanding marketing helps no end.

Love this guy to bits ... just don't agree with the way you are dissemination the gospel ... it's very much "White Missionary/Savior Style" ! ( Seems to me , when you guys at Louisiana Marketing don't know what to do, ..... you post Advice for the Young !?!? )
