A terrible shame. No wonder rock and roll is dead. The attitude of some artists really crack me up. It's like they fucking really do hate their fans. Why doesnt some one like Van Morrison just jam in his lounge room? If he hates his audience so much, hates interviews and being a celeb, why bother? Just jam for yourself in the privacy of your own homes.
Oh no, when they NEED us, when their last Weight Watchers or lemon detox diet bills come in, THEN they fucking want us. Then it's "I love you New York", or Newark or New SOuth Wales. Then they fucking want you.
Top of the world - "Sign an autograph? Get stuffed and here's my minder to belt the crap out of you".
Bit of a dry spell - "Oh, i really connect with my fans and have a special relationship with them and of course i'll do a 7am radio interview".
I will long argue into the night that many of these artists still think it's 1975. Record companies are a thing of the past. It's all gonna change. Places like youtube gives people access to material they might never find in a life time. It might make people care about some one's artistic endeavours. Might make some one buy a cd, dvd or even cough up the cash to see some one live on stage. I mean, how precious. Prince??? Fuck, what is it? 1986??? Who cares about his bony ass?
Anyway, youtube has been ruined since it got sold. Some thing else will pop up, and for a year or two, it will be all fresh again. UNtil some suited suck pulls out a writ. The truly odd thing is that so many great clips had never been available. Like, when was the plan to have them officially released? Hmmmm? Whats the harm in showing a rare Stones show if they aint ever gonna release it for us to see? Whats the big frigging secret?
ya know what? I am kinda over all this. At 46, i am more content to jam with mates or disturb my neighbours with my incredible drumming & strumming skills. I'd rather make my own noise.
And, if some one likes it, and i get a million hits on youtube, i am gonna pull all the vids and tell everyone to get stuffed!
