Well, as a strategy it certainly looks like his approach, but it's wrong. I like the planting seeds analogy so I'll ride with it. He's planting carrots, cabbages, corn, wheat and rutabagas, and whichever one takes off he'll continue to grow. Well, if your motivation is to keep food on the table (which I doubt is a concern for the man) or to stick it to your former bandmates by being more successful, well I guess it makes sense. However, the better plan is to plant something you really like. If watermelon is your one true love, then quit trying to grow eggplant. He'll be happier and he'll be more successful in the long run.
