Title: What about personal responsibility?
Review: I thought it a shame that Ms. Tindall spent so much time bemoaning sex as the only way to get her gigs. As a working musician for almost 20 years, I've never known anyone who had to do so...and yet, it seemed in many cases, she only won gigs through relationships which subsequently lost her those gigs. Perhaps if she'd actually learned how to make reeds (!), play her horn in tune, and overcome an almost theatrical case of performance anxiety, she might have earned gigs the way the rest of us do--through winning auditions. The fact that she had to further impugn the good names of many fine musicians in order to sell her story seems to highlight her lack of accountability. Too bad she now has a pen to wield instead of a rather lackluster oboe career.
Is the review positive or negative?
