The above is an example of the kind of work that has filled my days in the last ten years of being here on Blogger. At twenty songs a year, there's enough work there to justify ten years of songwriting. If I hadn't got stuck rewriting old songs for so much of it, I'd have 200 new songs. How many good new songs did all the bands and performers who stole my music write in the last twelve years? Or did they spend all of the last ten years insisting that they wrote my old songs, like Easy?
I'm an exceptionally hard worker, and I work hardest on my music and writing. It is work to create music out of nothing. It takes incredible concentration and effort and willpower to develop a new song from start to finish. From there, practicing is simple repetition, which is much easier. And performing is more fun than it is work. So I did all of this work and frauds had all the fun for it, but the business paid them and screwed me.
I read this morning about how Janis's version of Kristofferson's Bobby MacGee helped the latter with his career. Yes, it sure helps when a big star tells everyone you wrote the song. So did anyone ask Mick Jagger who wrote Halcyon Days, which I call Daylight Dilemma ? And was that a big money maker? Every dollar it has earned for that billionaire band in the last twelve years has brought me one step closer to total starvation, with my image getting so destroyed that I'm afraid to walk by the schoolyard.
I wasn't even thinking of making money with my music when I first shared it, but simply of expressing myself. On Google they encouraged everyone to 'express yourself' and to 'share'. So that's all I was doing, expressing myself in music, poetry, and comedy. The business didn't see my work as expressions but strictly as commercial products to be bought and sold, and they seemed to think an artist should be punished for not turning instantly into a businessman when it suits them. Beyond that, it sure would have helped me to have had more indication of my work's popularity than my own little head voice - like perhaps the correct view count appearing on my videos.
I don't really have anything to live for anymore except to recover all these old songs from my past and try to get into new songs. I'll probably be an old man by then. I skipped those last two recordings and went ahead and recorded another new one, but I think it might still be an old one. [8:00pm You can check it out above.] So I better start another new recording. I'm not expecting my success to be waiting around the corner for me anymore. And I think I'm still going to need at least a few more years just to catch up with the past. I have two other recordings waiting for lyrics besides the above two, but they only sound like good filler songs.
Whoever's causing me all the discomfort during the daytime should know that their crime is identifiable and punishable as assault in court. The media have learned this fact, and they are wise enough to leave me alone now. If you're some dumbfuck on the internet who wants to fuck around with my posts, you'll be learning what they learned.
My music is not a trend, it is a timeless expression of my life. The things I write about in my songs are everyday things that stay relevant. That's one of the reasons why I was able to rewrite them from scratch so many years after I first shared them. You are mistaken to think that my music was a trend. That was just appearance. The TREND was FRAUD: FRAUD music and FRAUD comedy to support a FRAUD war started by a FRAUD terrorist attack. My music was never music in their hands, only propaganda: 'Hey, look, Iraq, we're the good guys! See how we support free thought in our pop culture? Your dictator would never let you get away with music like this. See our rebellious comedy? Your leaders would never let them criticize you like that...' The only thing about my work that's gone out of date since then is the faces of the stars who stole it all.
