Ok, Ricky Dickardo, if that's how you gauge success, tell me this, coming from blunt honesty:
I'm mostly successful in really just one country of the world, with small niches elsewhere. I mostly only tour in this one country. I support an entire band, including rotating musicians. I have a charity I support in my name,
www.raywilsonfoundation.org . My Twitter is now completely inactive. My social media presence is minimal, besides here and my management running my Facebook. And as everyone LOVES to remind me, I "failed" as the lead singer of Genesis.
Yet monetarily, emotionally, in maturity and spiritually, I am infinitely more successful than you currently are, ever have been, and ever will be. A man whose name is virtually unknown in America has bested you to a point that you could never hope to catch up regardless of what random success you could achieve from now until you die, and having faced greater challenges and lows than even you have, without resorting to lying for government handouts - because Mama Wilson didn't teach her boy that way.
So I ask you... How's that feel, fucker?
