Looking for your daily dose of wisdom? Tap into Aubrey O'Day's blog on GlobalGrind.com and hear what the thoughtful ex-Danity Kane star has to say.
Starts off a little confusing with:
"What did the king of all things say he wanted when he started his career? Simple. "Cocaine and p*ssy."
She goes on to describe who we think is P. Diddy, before getting down to business.
I use that intro to bring this idea to the table: Aren't we all taking ourselves a lil' too seriously?.... What I've experienced on the music end is a constant pressure to 'ACT right and SPEAK right.'
The industry people telling me this are not trying to instill better behavior in order to help make me a better person or allow me to learn some valuable life lesson... So what I love about the mogul's less than politically correct or "wrong" answer, is maybe we all ought to lighten up and allow our artists to be what they are and say what they really feel or think instead of giving the 'vague and opinion less'answer as taught to my generation of artists in order to achieve 'credibility and longevity' to sell more records...

Maybe next time the answer should be something as simple as 'cocaine and p*ssy.' "
Duly noted, Aubrey.
