Ok, it's time. I'm starting a thread. The sh*t people say to you when you're a musician. Please feel free to add to this. I'll start with one of my personal favourites:
"I heard your song on the radio last night! I didn't really get it to be honest."
"I heard your song on the radio last night! I didn't really get it to be honest."
Sh*t people say at gigs:
"That was great. You need to get out there more."
"That was lovely. Would you think of trying to write catchier songs though? I can't imagine them on the radio."
"You should be looking for better gigs. They're not just gonna fall into your lap."

Randomer: *to other act* You are incredible, wanna come sing in my pub? *turns to me* I mean...you're good too, but *turns back to other act* you're amazing

Me: Sure, why not.

Someone I'd just met for the first time 5mins previously:
"Would you not become a school teacher? Then you'd have the summer holidays to do your music thing!"

"Heeeeey I run these monthly songwriter nights, you should come play sometime! Not next month though, I already have a female on that one."
