Rob Morgan Is A Curious Person

After visiting over 32 countries, I’ve become fascinated by local bars, restaurants, service industries, and their tipping culture all over the world.

Whether you’re a seasoned world traveler, or about to take your first international trip… local tipping culture can be confusing and the classic American mindset of, “They’ll be offended if you tip” no longer works.

So, join Sarah and me in Helsinki Finland for, “Just The Tip” [A Guide To Tipping Culture Around The World]

Sir Lancelot, Brian Eno, and a recurring dream I've had for years remind me what we once viewed as our failure, might just be what gives us our unique voice.

My full-time job for over a decade has been performing as a freelance musician. Of course, I want people to pay artists and musicians [A TON] to perform live. So… when I saw this petition going around on Facebook saying we should force the Minneapolis Parks & Rec board to pay artists for every free outdoor concert, no matter the size… why did I initially feel like I disagreed with it? 

For Part 2. of this convo, I recorded my chat with Nate Babbs [professional drummer] to see if there was something I was missing.

If you currently find yourself frustrated because something you’re making isn’t getting the respect or recognition you feel it deserves… if you’re a musician and you feel frustrated because the value of what you bring to the table isn’t viewed the same as what you know it should be…

Back in the day, I used to jump straight into questioning myself and my art. I’ve now realized, it might not be that you’re not good enough… You might just have a “Context” problem.

By buddy Joel Bowers always says, “Platitudes don’t work when you’re in pain.” So… A conversation with André and AJ before our show this weekend was a perfect moment to ask if a podcast I posted last week holds up.

It does, but I’ll need to share a gig story of mine that I’m a bit insecure about, to put my money where my podcast mic is.

Lately, I’ve been getting asked to MC different events, from concerts to weddings… 

Because it’s new to me, I’ve been solidifying my theory and approach to it and I’ve come up with something I call “Anti-Performance.” 

A scene inspires it in Oceans 11 and has influenced my approach as a musician on stage too. 

Join me over a pint at Northbound Smokehouse & Brewpub in South Minneapolis and let me know if I’m on to something…
