They Hate to Tell You

I'm keeping my newest song post up in my blog today because I'm not finished talking about my music on YouTube. This song here is a good example of a song that would have been stolen by Coldplay or Blue Rodeo in late 2007. Then it would have gone to the radio and stayed at number one, like the other songs they stole from me, until they'd pocketed millions of dollars to use as bail money when they got busted for their crime later on. Along with stealing millions of dollars for work they did not do, they would have completely reversed the urgent meaning I'm expressing in my lyrics about a BAD STAR who stands to CORRUPT INNOCENT VIEWERS. They don't want me to be able to use my talent for myself to express my thoughts about their crimes. They just want to turn everything into meaningless shit that puts more money into their pockets. And it's this attitude, this contempt for talent, that created such a vast void that could only be occupied by the work of a conscientious artist like myself. What you get when you have a music business that doesn't care about music is a big pile of obnoxious crap that no one wants to listen to. You get boring, predictable arrangements; you get silly overdone guitar solos; you get stupid awkward lyrics - if you get any lyrics at all; and you end up with a whole population that is half insane from under-stimulation and eager to pounce on the first substantial work of music that they see. That put my determined musical efforts front and center for the better part of a decade on the radio, while the radio people and their stars paid themselves for lying to you about it. I don't need to hear any other songs to know that the above is standing out on the web. I'm 53 now, and I know how limited the commercial playlist is. When it comes to its direct competitors, my song probably outmatches them in lyrical content and composition. No one knows how to write good lyrics anymore. And if it's up against an old classic, well, it has the advantage of being new and fresh. And this abyss of quality in commercial music has me wondering. Why would the broadcasters hate a song that is full of life and substance - and well written to boot? Maybe it's because they know that good music like mine stimulates thought and they don't want us to think. My comedy also gets people thinking, at least if it's in my hands and not in the hands of a bunch of paid cheerleaders for the Pentagon like NBC and their comedy shows. I want my music and comedy to wake people up, especially about the outrageous corruption in broadcasting. If my work makes them think and question the world around them, I'm a happy camper. And when the people on TV steal it, they're not just hurting music and comedy, but dear, unchanging truth. Did I hear someone call me a sot yesterday, after I asked you to view my YouTube video the Edgar Allen Poe Blues to see me point out Ellen's crimes? But that scene of me with the wine bottle (A controlled substance in my hands on a Friday night... I'm such a monster...) was at the start of the video. So you were supposed to stop watching before you could see the whole point of the video, which was to show you NBC's crimes with my 2018 comedy blogs. Did any of you reject this book by its cover, as you were commanded by your self appointed overlords on TV? And another book they want you to reject by its cover is the above song, because they bashed its title and wanted you to reject the whole song based on that. They have no real argument except their hate. Is it good enough for you?
