As artists we as a group have a love and hate relationship with reviews. The rush of a great review is quickly squashed by the depressing bad review. I am reminded of a saying we had in the Navy, one aw-shit wipes out all the atta-boys. It is like that with reviews, all the good ones seem to get cancelled by a single bad one no matter how hard we try to remember the good ones.

Actually I don't mind a thoughtful review that tells exactly why someone doesn't like what I have done, it is the ones that simply trash your work without reason that hurt the most.

I guess as public persons we all have to put on our big person underwear and just take the bad reviews with the bad. I just wish the reviewers had to also place their most cherished ideas and accomplishments in front of the world for review and criticism. Of course, maybe they are.
