Johnny - are you suggesting that trying to give your best performance is Wrong ?
Surely , there HAS to be a level of Ego and Self aggrandissment in any one who essays to be a performer , and agree that too much Ego is NOT a good thing in many cases .
However , suggesting that we should all 'Dumb Down' our performance to a lowest common denominator is only going to be destructive . Or is that NOT what you are suggesting ? Please elucidate .
