The best analogy of why big government socialism sucks is inadvertently made in this 30 Seconds to Mars anti-capitalist VIDEO. And Liberal “artists” still don’t get it. The video features Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington who just committed suicide today by hanging himself.
Great and brutally honest “inside the music business” read.
Watch the VIDEO, read the ARTICLE HERE
So this has been happening since the 1950’s and these folks don’t know how to stop from getting screwed yet?
Welcome to the party of stupid.
and I quote ….
“I’ve given up
I’m sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say
Take this all away
I’m suffocating
Tell me what the fuck is wrong
With me!”
ironic … ain’t it?
Maybe if he’d gotten a real job…
Old age and treachery will always beat youth and ignorance.
Prince figured it out, and even that pervert Michael Jackson. They got their millions, but they’re dead too.
Why most musicians are liberals, I think, has to do with plain simple ignorance. I’ve been surrounded by them my whole life, but I’m doing alright.
Great song by Tower of Power

. . . they can go to their boss and ask for a raise, they can leave and go get another job if they’re not happy. Musicians don’t really have that ability to do that.”
They can’t leave? Pretty much every band has a history of members joining and quitting the band. You also constantly hear of bands breaking up, reforming, reuniting, and renaming themselves. They are not trapped when there so much turn-over.
Well, I feel guilty for downloading 3 terabytes of artist’s movies and music and selling it for a profit.
Was that wrong?
And that is why Trump won. The current model was no longer acceptable and the middle class peasants (artists) are rising up against the globalist uni-party (their record label) and creating a new system. Too self-centered they can’t possibly see outside their microcosm.
Everything was fine while the label guy was supplying them with all the hookers and blow they could handle.

Stupid Fcks…
I created a post here a few months ago reminding people that actors were previously considered in the same class as street cleaners and prostitutes. I think musicians were considered one level below that.
Music and acting have always been sucker bets that Hollywood lowlifes chewed up, raped and spit into the street to die.
I find it difficult to believe with today’s internet that a quality band with good arrangements can’t tour its ass off and disseminate its product bypassing the (dare I say?) ((((parasitic music industry vermin)))) completely.
Like they said in the video, it’s a dead model. No offense Chester, RIP.
Can’t post on PolitOpinion but:
Mark Levin’s theme song is Linkin Park “Somewhere I Belong.”
I don’t get it. You mean they go into a contract without a rep? They don’t have somebody to lookout for their interests? They have the product wich equals leverage. You,re not expected to understand the complexities of these contracts, but you are expected to get the right help. Else you get eaten, and thats life.
Creating entertainment and selling it to the masses is the very definition of capitalism- doubt the neck stretch even made the dumbass realize it, though.
I learned at a young age that the music biz was filled with shysters including other musicians, club owners, managers, agents, etc. One of my early groups (circa 1971-72) had an ex-Hollywood manager/agent who used to manage Abbott & Costello. He knew all the tricks and as a result soured me forever on trying to “make it”. That has turned out to be a blessing because I probably would have turned out to be a drug/sex-addled suicidal egomaniac freak (instead of the normal freak that I’ve turned into).
That website never loads and freezes up my iPad.
