J8: Bowie is full of hooey

Motivational Monday! Musician David Bowie, born on this day in 1947, once said "All my big mistakes are when I try to second-guess or please an audience. My work is always stronger when I get very selfish about it." How true (or false) is this about your own writing? What's more important: pleasing yourself, or your audience?

WHAT A CROCK! All entertainment is based on pleasing yourself. The success of your talent is pleasing an audience.

Selfish? How dumb is that? All talent has an agent to promote them and you can't be selfish.

The truer statement is Egos or I goes. Stated by Fergie of Toto. The biggest mistakes for talent in any industry is to not listen to the ones who buy what you are selling and your agent who has the pulse of the demands out there.
