Sometimes the best reaction is to laugh.
I was working a session a number of years ago where the completely unknown and chronically untalented artist in question took on airs like he like had the talents and already achieved the success of Elvis, the Beatles and Quincy Jones rolled into one. After a few hours of his annoying and verging on abusive behavior towards myself and the others involved in the session I just started laughing hysterically. It was just so absurd, this spoiled two year old brat in an adults body thinking that he had any talent, skills or any hope of success. The more he kept screaming the harder I laughed and the rest of the people there started laughing too. I then walked out of the studio and told the studio manager to find another engineer; the session players soon followed. The clown in question stormed out of the studio swearing that he would get us all black-listed, blah blah blah. Of course, the walking anal sphincter was never heard from again. |
