Greed Destroys Beauty

The music business thinks it's a hero for grabbing all the music and charging us for it, but it hurts music with its greed. There are only so many talented songwriters, and the music business can't make enough money from them. So they try to turn untalented ones into 'artists' which they expect you to pay top dollar for. Of course, this works best when they have a large store of music that was all created by one talented songwriter, so they can lie to spread the illusion of his talent among their worthless bullshit bands. You know what I mean by bullshit bands, right? I mean the kind of band that has a twenty minute song with five words in it because they still haven't read a book from cover to cover and they want to produce intellectual property anyway. Or bands that linger on one stupid chord for the whole twenty minutes and play silly solos on top of it. Or bands whose bass players still haven't learned how to compose one-finger melodies on their instrument after years of playing. There's no way in God's universe that they could ever produce a substantial work of music. So the greedy business, probably half owned by copyright offenders in my Statements index below (Copyright Issues), steals my music and says it's theirs. Can I leave the list off this page and let my readers link to it, so it doesn't use up too much computer memory with its endless account of filthy, commercially supported crimes with my work? Who stole the above song? I don't even know their name. I think it was presented as something like - I don't know - the Flying Methuselahs? Some idiot band that gets their singer to claim my music by shaking her hair up and down on a stage while it's playing. All these malicious strangers mixed up in my intimate world after they stole the works of my heart. And I don't even know their damn names. I have a lot of painting left to do in the walls of my building. I like the way it takes my mind off the failure of the music business with my music. Last week we had a fire inspection, so I had to work extra hard to prepare for it. I spend most of my days doing things that take my mind off of the things I'm forced to share here.
