Music has helped me get through certain times in my life. I don't mean, Oh I'm-so-depressed-and- heartbroken-so-every-sad-song-that-plays-i-can-relate-to music. I'm talking real music. To me, real music has a beat I can move to, lyrics I relate to, and gravitational pull that keeps me coming back for more. To find all of that in a single artist is hard to find. Maybe not 30yrs ago because back then, music was taken very literal in my opinion. These days "artists" say shit like " I've got the moves like Jagger". really? You have moves like old ass Mick Jagger? Ummmm that's cool..I guess. What the fuck? No thanks, I prefer to not have moves like a 69 year old man. Even when you're net worth is 190 million I still want nothing to do with the way your arthritic body moves. Or how about, " I brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack". So, you're an alcoholic and I'm 15 so that's what being popular is all about?
I have three young kids who listen to this bullshit.
F.u.c.k. me.
Dear civilization, please stop fucking with my kids, I can only explain and sort out so much before I start looking like like a catholic nun.
On the positive, there are many, many artists that have helped me exceed with my writing career and life in general. I have influences just like anyone else. *Shout out to* a couple of my many favorites; A.P.O.S.T.L.E aka Jeff Campbell, he helped me through a very trying time in my life. His lyrics and presence helped me realize that there was more to life than just sitting back and expecting change. He proved to me that you have to get up and make change happen and not just hope for it. I can attribute my continued passion for writing to genres like Dub, Reggae, 80's, and Electronica.They gave me the beat to keep on stepping to. Don't confuse my love for music as a cry for help. I have had times where the only "person" I could relate to or would listen to was Music....it keeped me going at times.
There is more shitty music than I can list. Katy Perry? Are you fucking kidding me? No. Her shit sucks. She has a crappy ass voice and the only thing working for her is kids under the age of 10.
On to Pink. As Tyson would say, "she's the man". I totally agree. What does the human race even find remotely attractive about her(him)? I will never know.
Chris Brown is a stand up citizen....not. So you are telling me that you can beat the shit out of someone and they will come back to you and see nothing wrong with any of it?, Hey Domestic Violence Committee how do you feel about that?
"Artists" these days are sending the wrong message to the public. Let's remember, I don't get paid millions of dollars to speak my mind but these worthless people do. There is something wrong here. Aren't we taught to tell the truth no matter if it is against what other people will think is right? I was. And I will continue to.
As for Chris Brown, he will always be a woman beater to me. Sure people will and can change, but at the end of the day you allowed yourself to put your hands on a woman because you couldn't control yourself. Props to you for having zero self control.
As a mother of three boys I teach them better than that. I am going to assure myself that I have given my boys enough resources to know that laying a hand on a woman ( as much as you want to) will NEVER be okay. Know your limits, know your boundaries, know when it's worth it and know when to walk away. Nothing and no one will ever be worth everything that you have.
Love yourself first and foremost. Without that, you can never love anyone else.
