I agree, apples and oranges
(lol)
I just watched the "apple pie" video. These past few days I have been thinking I was guilty of the same thing really, judging 6 bars of a song prematurely. Upon first hearing Meat sing the other day, I had came away with "OMG how powerful and passionate!!" but the fact remains I had formed an "opinion" based on very little. But now after Meat's apple pie video, I get it.
That's not the point.
No, you're not a saboteur/detractor if you don't like the six bars, but if you say so, you are throwing cold water on Meat, who was only sharing a little bit of his creative process with us. He wasn't looking for our opinions or creative input, he was sharing some of his excitement with us, just as he might share with friends. He is undoubtedly giving and getting all kinds of criticism about the album among the other artists working on it with him. But we are
not in that group!! He has every right to expect his friends to be positive for him, it's as simple as that.
So are we his friends or not? Are we his friends, or just a peanut gallery? We can't have it both ways.
