she done me good
I found myself reading the latest issue of rolling stone this morning. I anxiously awaited reading the charts, where the Beatles 'Let it be...naked' sits proudly at number 5. I sip fruit juice and attempt to recall a quote I had taped to my wall some 18 months ago. It goes a little something like this...
"40 years later, The Beatles are still saving the industry's ass."
"The industry" = the blood sucking whore that produces a different band every week, with the soul purpose of bringing in a dollar. Yeah, it's all about the music, man. Fuck that. Their selling an image, and you're buying right into it. *note* Free thinkers don't create profit. So in essence, their target audience is so tragically clear; Teenagers that are utterly confused about themselves, their surroundings and the precious sounds that hit the drums of their ears. Someone is making a profit from your youth, and along with that youth, comes ignorance. Ignorance sells. When someone is fed enough bull shit,they'll believe just about anything. Exceptionally tight pants/black rimmed glasses/tats/piercings and/or anything else you find to be common among a certain stereotype, still don't sell as well as common, everyday ignorance. If knowing the difference between REAL music and pre packaged shit makes me pretentious, so be it.
How's everybody doing?
