Huh?

 

Drugs.  Definitely.  Please note that she's not able to play a guitar.

All out abandon

 

Singers, beware of trying to compete with Mary: she's all out abandon.  You have no idea.

Trendsetting

 

I hope you've figured out that you need to share Mary with Nashville, and not just keep her all to yourself.

Remember Kurt Cobain and all those guys from Seattle?  They didn't really care about what they wore.  They just put on flannel or whatever, and it became the "grunge look".  In your case, you wear whatever it is you want to wear so eventually you're going to be a trendsetter.  At this point, I would call it the "Americana shorts" look.  Perhaps the fashion media would have a better catch phrase.

Dress for success

 

I'm sorry you had a tough 4th of July show.  My poor darling, you've had bad signs since you came back to town.  The fall, the sun, the guitar and amp problems, the singer.  I recommend that you do more local shows.  Take Mary with you and you will have a significant advantage over other acts, if you can get a venue still open at 3 am.  You know as well as I that there are plenty of drunk lonely people wide awake at that time.  This should help fix your local vibe, as long as you are consistent.

That was cool when you had the whole band dress up in camo.  Only once, though.  Making a statement?  Back in the day, bands used to dress in unison and dance, too!  Few bands do that now.  A more sincere expression I guess, or just can't be bothered.

How to be a woman

 
Hi Grace!  Beautiful montage, Honey.  I love the scrapbook look.  

How's the fashion biz doing for you?  I don't think you're cut out to be a model.  Just stick to playing guitar and dressing however you feel like dressing.  Sure I would dress you differently but I already have Mary to dress, so you go ahead and dress yourself.

Star Wars

 

The flutes and violins have the happy faces while the tuba and bass have serious faces.  So, has Taylor returned your jacket yet?  It's probably lost in her mile-high pile of clothes.

Remember

 

When you played anywhere you could?  I remember telling you that you don't need to do that anymore, so as to help protect you from jealous people.  You definitely have better gigs now, but you were a better politician back then.  Or perhaps just clueless.  It's a good thing that you're a rock star, not a politician!

But how to tour and work the local scene at the same time?  Just try your best.  When you get big enough, the locals will claim you as their own.
