Reply To: What do you want to ask JoCo? (was: What do you want to know?)
Counterpoint: He’s also said, though, that mass producing songs for TAW was incredibly draining, and he’s already touring most weekends, which in itself is tough. (Not to mention that being away so much leaves less time to do the necessary week-by-week work — aside from household stuff, taking care of the kid, etc., he’s also effectively self-managed and he has to handle all the business part of his career with very little help.)
Besides, in my brief dabbles at imitating a creative person, I’ve found that deadline or no, when you’re not satisfied with the way something’s going, it’s really, really difficult to say, well, I’ll write this and post it even though I don’t think it’s any good. (JoCo is an entrepreneur, after all, and as Borba says a couple posts above, this is his brand — it’s no good, brand-wise, to disseminate work that one feels is subpar.)
JoCo made TAW look really easy, or at least a lot easier than it must’ve been…
