Rockstar Lessons From the Beatles and Kiss

• Start with your why
• Same but different
• Sharpen your axes
• Make your show hard to copy
• Sacrifices will be made
• Friendly competition is good
• Don't promote until your audience says its good
• Get people talking about you
• Money changes everything
• Don't be bored

I think the item that really made me go "Whoa!" was the Beatles having the option to come to the US, and they postponed it until they had a hit. Likewise, Kiss walking out on a record deal as the music wasn't right.
