The Paths We Choose

I’ve never even met the man and up until last night had never even heard his music. But I have spent all day promoting Godsmack frontman Sully Erna’s new memoir, The Paths We Choose.

This is quite different than the government contract wins I was promoting in the past. A lot of these editors know who Godsmack is. Apparently, I was in the minority. But I connected on a different level. One chapter talks about his paralyzing struggles with anxiety and how it could have affected his career. I may not be a rock star, but as someone who suffers from anxiety, I could relate.

So I’ve been calling newspaper editors at all of the major newspapers in the cities where Godsmack is touring. I’ve gotten a few nibbles. They come to Constitution Hall on May 26^th. I’ll be out of town, which is a shame, because after all of this, I’d like to meet the man.

That could have been my Ari from Entourage moment. I haven’t had one of those yet.
