Why Daisy Buchanan?
From The Great Gatsby. Daisy Buchanan is often seen as a negative character, but I don’t think she is. Everyone can identify with her sense of “chasing.” In a sense she’s an American ideal. Live peformance-wise, what’s in the future for you? The good and bad thing about Miami’s music scene is that although it’s growing useful and vibrant, it doesn’t feel like many people are watching, but this gives you room to grow and take risks. There’s this Leonard Cohen saying about making sure to make the wrong decisions, it’s like you have to take the wrong path even if it gets you to the right place, you have to define yourself before it gets defined for you, and music is my vehicle for that. Sam Friend performs at his CD release party, 9 p.m., Feb. 15, at Sweat Records, 5505 NE 2nd Ave. (305-342-9053). Visit myspace.com/sam friend for more upcoming shows.
