More than Talent

To date I've been a reclusive hermit. To date I've not authorized my work or my image to be used anywhere outside my one YouTube account or my one Google account. To date I've received no compensation for works of mine which were used commercially. I am unemployed and I collect disability. I listened to my favorite music set last night: My 2013 Music Video Playlist. Have a listen. If you love rock, you'll enjoy this one-hour set. People say they want my talent, as if that were all it took to write my work. Not so. My work is an expression of my life and my attitude. My songs would not sound so authentic if I were an industry phony like the the Crystalids, Taylor Swift, Roxanna's Noisy Friends (Don't know their name), The Virtue Thieves (Don't know their name), Tina Fey, Tina Fey's boyfriend (Don't know his name), Jay Leno, Jon Stewart, Jimi Kimmel, Conan O'Brien, MAD TV, The Simpsons, Family Guy, and many others. These jerks all stole my work because they do not have my life and my attitude and are unable to produce such work on their own, no matter how talented they might be. And this work which comes from opposing the business makes their workers think I owe them a living. If I don't go out and sell my ass to the business immediately, they frame me and try to make off with my work behind my back. They've already done this twice in the last six years, in front of everyone's eyes. And didn't Taylor Swift play an illegal show here just a few short months ago? And didn't Tina Fey's boyfriend play a show here this summer - before he was carted off to jail? Whom do you suppose cleared the way for them? And if the workers are not trying to frame me, the commercial media is trying to frame me. Does everyone know what Dateline was really up to last year when you all thought they were on my side? I hope they were locked up with the rest of the offenders. Christ, you need the mind of Sherlock Holmes to stay on top of all this crime. I must tell you that if opposing the business brings this much strife, it is likely that none of the music or comedy you consume through the commercial networks and radio stations can be trusted. If the talent they push on you were like I am, many of them would be like I am, struggling to defend themselves against endless lies and false accusations and to recover mountains of work which was stolen from them. Instead, it appears that they 'sold out' for a far more comfortable life. Isn't it unreasonable that the business loves the pure sound of my artistic integrity so much but that they rejected me for having an 'inconvenient' attitude? My attitude is what gives my work its balls. Believe me, it takes much more courage to stand alone in an abysmal neighbourhood like this than to get up in front of a crowd of loving, brainwashed fans.
