Are Low Music Sales Simply Due To Bad Music? – hypebot.
That’s been my guess for A LONG time. A LOT of bad music, empty of innovation and creative spark, filled with studio enhancement tricks to make talentless singers sound adequate, being shoved down our throats by the major labels, who then turn around and blame the bands and their fans for the piracy that is OBVIOUSLY killing music sales…
How about this…Indie Artists are producing and publishing volumes of great music everyday, and people are spending their consumer dollars ELSEWHERE. Yes, that’s right Sony, people are choosing to buy REAL MUSIC directly from REAL MUSICIANS and artist friendly music services, and it’s cutting into your sales and profits.
Like they say on Shark Tank…if you’re selling a crappy product, your sales are going to suck. OK, they don’t actually say that, but tell me it isn’t true?
Maybe if the record labels stop exploiting artists and fans, and start finding new, innovative, and inspired acts that are creating new and imaginative art, they can get back on track. Or, they can keep doing what they’re doing…exploiting crap for profit while shunning any semblance of true inspiration, and carving thier niche in history with the dinosaurs and 8 track tape decks in the car.
Anyhoo, check out the article that I sorta read before going off on this rant. Are Low Music Sales Simply Due To Bad Music?
First, this is just pure speculation. Opinion. Based on zero facts.
Second, there is no evidence to backup the assumptions that this un-armed man…let’s not forget that however he was acting, he was not armed…was acting “in a crazy way”, and in fact the majority of witness accounts say just the opposite. Only the shooter/cop seems to think the Michael Brown was a threat, and this quack is inserting his professional…but wholly scientifically inaccurate OPINION into this issue, as an obviously desperate attempted diversion to obscure the truth and blame it on marijuana. Same as they did with Trayvon. Same as they always do.
The only “crazy” or “erratic” behavior most marijuana users experience is the munchies and/or uncontrollable laughter. Without other drugs added into the mix (which the good doc here, when you listen to the garble coming out of his mouth, seems to be trying to imply were also involved, although no official evidence to supports this) the likelihood of drug-induced violence is essentially nil, since pot on it’s own has never been shown to induce violence.
By and large, this is just exactly what it seems…a big fat attempt to divert attention from the shooter/cop and place blame on the victim. I mean, he’s black so he must be a violent drug crazed criminal now, right? Shame on you for reporting this idiot’s opinion Fox News, and shame on you, “creepy Fox Newsbot Greta Van Susteren”, for being who a tool of the polarized political playground we call governance.

At least SOMEONE is holding Congress accountable for their actions. Kudos to Wikipedia admins.

…someone tied to that House IP address edited a description of series regular Laverne Cox from “a real transgender woman” to “a real man pretending to be a woman”. You can check out the full (and we mean full) debate on the offending IP address’ talk page…

The road to success is long, brutal, and relentless – it’s not for the faint of heary or for the negative nancies of the world. It is for the go-getters, the hard workers, the over-achievers – the musicians who never give up. Nothing worth having comes easy, but the journey from start to finish can be drastically altered by one word alone: Attitude.
…Being an artist can be a hard life, but it doesn’t have to be. If you are mindful of what’s going on with you and the world around you…
