All my heroes have definite periods in their careers. Bowie, Prince, MJ, Tom Waits, Marvin Gaye, Miles, Coltrane, Herbie, Picasso, Warhol, Arthur Miller, Chekov, Beethoven, David Lean, Robert Altman, Woody Allen, Nina Simone, Joni Mitchell, Jack Lemmon, Alec Guinness, Dali, Nam June Paik; They all tried different things at different times in their careers. Art’s like water…it should flow and take the shape of the situation. If it’s held in one place it’ll stagnate…and stink.</p>http://www.patrickstump.com/post/13428221302http://www.patrickstump.com/post/13428221302Sun, 27 Nov 2011 19:39:23 -0500<p>I managed to get my album released by a major label. I stood up to a lot of people who had (and continue to have) a lot of negative things to say about my record, the style of music, my personal appearance, my production, my lyrics, my instrumental prowess, or my capacity to tour myself. I don’t really believe in pride, but I’m very content with all of that. I’m happy I’ve maintained the confidence to continue climbing basically uphill (metaphorically speaking) while feeling like not only there were a mudslide but also bullies at the top throwing rocks. It’s basically like starting a small business: It’s a big risk and it’s a lot of hard work…you might never make money, but I’m really psyched I tried it. That’s the biggest thing in my year by far.</p>http://www.patrickstump.com/post/13425754878http://www.patrickstump.com/post/13425754878Sun, 27 Nov 2011 18:53:00 -0500<p>Just so people know officially: In spite of what’s apparently ripping through Tumblr, there is no news on Fall Out Boy.
