Score Two for Linda Perry: 1. Talent and 2. Confidence
bjones437: “What a complete blowhard Linda Perry is!” fixthiscrap12345$: “I’ve loved every episode so far, but Linda Perry…what an ego. I couldn’t take it.” Tyler San: “Linda Perry spent 30 seconds talking about how she has no ego and doesn’t need trophies. Then a full hour talking about how great she is. Worst episode ever.” -------------------------- My first thought was, if this was a guy talking about how great he was, you wouldn’t have thought twice about it, but because she’s female, oh my God, we can’t have a female egotist can we, I mean that’s so unfair to all the male stars who brag about their own greatness without a qualm. This is the music industry we’re discussing here, where egos are necessary just to survive, for both men and women. Fans don’t always get that, but music industry people know it is just as vital as knowing how to play, sing, or write. Sometimes even more so. My second thought was, unlike real “blowhards” she backed up all of her claims of greatness with specific examples. I don’t hear male egotists doing that. And lastly, when she talked of her defeats, like the one about being totally rejected by Nashville for example, she was open about it. A real egotist would never be able to admit to defeat. Please get your head out of the 1950s. If guys can brag, but women are attacked for the very same behavior, what does that make you – perhaps a little too comfortable with your outdated views?

More reviews of Broken Record with Rick Rubin, Malcolm Gladwell, Bruce Headlam and Justin Richmond
Who do I have to kill to get more of these episodes??! Fantastic show and rare access to music industry guru and pioneer Rick Rubin. Rick is a delight to listen to, we need more of his philosophies and insights.
