Ashley, I just had another thought.

When I was in a sales career, one of the main issues was overcoming objections. It's a big deal. Right now you're dealing with people who OBJECT to your witty and intelligent lyrics.

The best way in a sales presentation to deal with this is early on, as soon as it comes up in conversations. Get it out in the open, expose it, deflate it and dismiss it.

It's your career, and you must make your own decisions. If I kept hearing this, I'd go right up the middle with it and write a song about it.

"They told me to dumb down my lyrics
But I guess I'm just too stupid for my britches...."

something like that.

I'm also thinking of that wonderful line from Kacey Musgraves' "Pageant Material," where she says:

I'd rather lose for what I am
Than win for what I ain't

Get a little sassy. Sass attracts attention.

Memmer
