Bruh. Till today whenever i get down and life gets hard, i put on lynyrd skynyrd’s simple man, let a few tears out and I’m good. I’m reminded of what’s important. Fuck outta here with shit crap music today.
I came of age during an era when “selling out” was not a thing people strived for. In fact, when Rudy Giuliani tried to silence Rage Against The Machine on the issue, they played an illegal concert on Wall St that shut down the NYSE for the day. Punk became pop because we resonated with the message that money corrupts and everyone is created equal when you’re in the mosh pit. We could use some of that anger today.
As someone commented, there’s a lot of new music that’s great, but no one wants to make those artists popular. Barns Courtney, Seinabo Sey, Rhiannon Giddens, Deborah Coleman, to name a few. Most popular music now, though, has no substance. And I was never okay with those disgusting misogynistic, homophobic “lyrics.”
Woh… sex, love, romance, comedy, jrr token esc fantasy with Orson Scott card drugs, and rock!… that both worked out for me, but also took a bit to bring under control. Good thing I also read a bunch of self help books 😂😂 love not sex. We got it wrong ❤❤
