On the radio, Gene Simmons just pointed out that observation is the best teacher, not experience, as most people think.

He said this to explain why he didn't drink, and watching other people get bombed seems to be a common theme among those who've never tasted alcohol.

But I wonder if this philosophy might be helpful in other ways. It certainly matches the way I've avoided seeing bad movies for a long time. I hear people complain about them, and I can't shake the feeling that they should have known better than to go pay to see them.

the easiest way to learn a role is to be in rehearsals with someone else who's trying to learn it. Every missed word or note drills the correct one that much deeper into your head as you follow along in the script or score.

You know, I think some of my best schoolteachers deliberately made mistakes in what they wrote on the board for just that reason.
